Tomorrow. We hope you support the industry and are watching. While we have a few moments on the show, I would significantly lower expectations from the speculation I see, especially how big we were last year!– Aaron Greenberg ️💚♂️💚U (@aarongreenberg) December 9, 2020
You will see that we (and our social networks) are promoting tomorrow’s Game Awards. We hope you will support the industry by following the event. And even if we set up a handful of moments during the show (your seat), I would lower expectations considerably compared to speculation I can see (on the internet).

Now we have to wait for the Game Awards 2020, which start at 1am on Thursday evening, to discover the end of this story and the “surprises” promised by Microsoft.
