This means that hundreds of handheld consoles could be given away as part of the promotion.
The promotion is to celebrate the show live-streaming via Steam for the first time.
Anyone who lives in the US, UK, Canada, or the EU, is welcome to participate in the giveaway, which will take place every minute during the show.
In order to have a chance at winning, you will need to verify your country on your Steam account, and not have a limited account.
Then you need to be actively watching the awards show via Steam in order to have a chance to win.
During the livestream, a new winner will be announced every minute in chat.
The Steam Decks that are being given away are the 516GB model, which is the most expensive one.
It usually retails for £569 ($649), which is one of the more expensive consoles currently on the market.

Unfortunately for British and European fans, the award show is airing and a rather sleep-unfriendly time.
For North American viewers it will be streamed live from Thursday, December 8, 2022, at 4:30pm ET or 7:30pm PT.
However for those in Europe it starts on Friday, December 9, 2022, at 12:30am GMT or 1:30am CST.
However, if you are planning on staying up for the event and want a chance to win, you can register for the giveaway via your Steam account.
The Game Awards Hub on Steam will also have discounts on Steam games during the show, and free playable demos for upcoming games.
All registrants will also receive a Steam Pal digital sticker that can be used in chat.
