Even though it couldn’t be held with an audience present, The Game Awards was still a spectacle this year. With celebrity appearances, new game reveals, and (of course) awards, viewers had a lot to take in over the event’s three-hour runtime. But for those who didn’t watch the live broadcast online – or don’t have several hours to devote to catching up – we’ve compiled the biggest stories of the night into this single, handy list.
