In the night from December 8th to 9th, 2022, the Game Awards will be presented for the ninth time under Geoff Keighley. The Game Awards are also particularly interesting because in recent years an increasing number of major games have been presented or unveiled there for the first time.
You don’t necessarily have to tune in live for this – you’ll also find all the important announcements the next morning at GameStar.de, perhaps with a hot cup of coffee for breakfast. You can read the exact time, all nominated games and where you can follow the Game Awards here:

Everything about the Game Awards 2022
But now there’s a reason why it’s really worth being there live at the award ceremony at such a late hour. Valve has announced that one raffle a Steam Deck during every full minute of the live stream will.
Even the more expensive version with 512 GB is given away. That sounds absurd, but it’s true. In addition, all participants in the competition will receive an exclusive digital and animated Steam Pal sticker.
The fact that Valve’s strategy with the handheld is currently working was proven by the statistics with the 10 most played titles on the Steam Deck. You can of course find out who a Steam Deck is worth for and whether a PC for the couch or for the plane makes sense in our test video:
