The Game Awards just announced that it will be streaming on two very different kinds of streaming platforms, Roblox and Disney+. The December 10 award ceremony is set to stream live on both services, joining the YouTube, Twitch, X, TikTok and China-based streams that organizers say are returning from last year’s event.
On Roblox, fans 18 and older will be able to watch the Game Awards together in The Block, while Disney+ will carry the broadcast starting at 7:30 p.m. ET, according to the press announcements. The Game Awards says its 2025 show reached an estimated 171 million global livestreams, and the new platforms extend that reach.
On Roblox, fans 18 and older can watch together in The Block as the show airs live from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. The Block is Roblox’s virtual event venue in which fans have the ability to vote, interact with other players, and claim virtual merchandise items as the show is playing. Roblox says more details surrounding the event will be released in the weeks leading up to it.
Roblox announced the news earlier today, calling it the first time an external awards show has been livestreamed on the UGC platform.
The Block, Roblox’s virtual event space, has now hosted the Roblox Innovation Awards as well as a large array of interactive virtual music experiences featuring The Rolling Stones, Billie Eilish and Stray Kids, according to the press release.
While the event is limited to players 18 years and older, this age demographic makes up Roblox’s fastest-growing age group, according to the company. In the third quarter of 2026 the 18+ category covered about 29% of global age-checked daily active users and 37% of U.S. age-checked daily active users, up from 27% and 33% in the second quarter.
In addition to the other streaming services and the live Roblox event, Disney+ is set to stream the show live on Thursday, December 10, starting at 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT as well. Disney+ will also stream the show in select international markets, though they have yet to specify which ones.
The Game Awards steam will be joining a growing slate of gaming-related programming on Disney+, according to the company’s announcement. Other gaming projects include the anime “Disney Twisted-Wonderland: The Animation” and the upcoming original anime series “Death Stranding Isolations,” available to stream on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally. Disney also stated that fans should expect major announcements and surprises from some of its most anticipated gaming titles in the near future.
Fans of The Game Awards have the ability to help pick the award winners in all categories once nominations are announced and voting opens on TheGameAwards.com, according to Disney and Roblox’s press releases. Nominations have yet to be announced.
The Game Awards has stated that its 2025 show reached an estimated 171 million global livestreams, which is up 11% over 2024. Additional streaming partners for 2026 include YouTube, Twitch, X, TikTok and China, according to the show.
The two new additions of Roblox and Disney+ give the show a mix of an interactive, user-built platform and a mainstream subscription service.
