It’s almost time for Geoff Keighley’s next major gaming show. The 2025 edition of Gamescom’s Opening Night Live event kicks off at 2PM ET today, and you can watch everything on the official livestream on The Game Awards’ YouTube channel. Ahead of the main event, there will also be a preshow at 1:30PM ET featuring “multiple new game announcements.”

Gamescom’s Opening Night Live showcase is once again here to highlight games coming your way in the near future (and beyond). Hosted by Geoff Keighley, the creator of The Game Awards, the stream primarily focused on new or first looks at previously announced games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Resident Evil Requiem, and Hollow Knight: Silksong.
