The Game Awards, also known as the gaming Oscars, usually runs for around three to four hours long.

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.

All registrants will also receive a Steam Pal digital sticker that can be used in chat.

Which Steam Decks are part of The Game Awards giveaway?

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.

The Game Awards Hub on Steam will also have discounts on Steam games during the show, and free playable demos for upcoming games.

When can I watch The Game Awards?

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.
