Geoff Keighley’s Opening Night Live 2025 reached 72M livestream views

Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 reached over 72 million livestream views — up an 80% year-over-year, said show organizer Geoff Keighley in a LinkedIn post.

“That makes this year’s show the most-watched ONL in its seven-year history, a powerful reminder of what happens when our industry comes together to celebrate the future of games,” Keighley said. “A huge thank you to our team, Gamescom, and the publishers and developers worldwide who continue to bring their biggest news, special guests and reveals to our stage.”

He added, “Together, we’re proving the power of gaming to unite and inspire a global audience.”

With shows like The Game Awards, Summer Game Fest and Opening Night Live, Keighley has a lock on game announcement shows.
