The Game Awards Reveal Their 2026 Nominees on November 17, Two Days Before GTA VI
The Game Awards confirmed the date. Insider Gaming says GTA VI can still be eligible if it is out by November 20.
Confirmed — The Game Awards posted on X on November 13 that “the nominees for #TheGameAwards will be revealed live next Tuesday, November 17.”
That is two days before GTA VI launches on November 19. Insider Gaming reports that the show’s cut-off is games commercially available by November 20, 2026, at 9 p.m. PT, which would make GTA VI eligible.
Whether it gets nominated is up to the show’s jury, which will have had little or no time with the game.
The limit of this story: the date is confirmed; the eligibility cut-off is Insider Gaming’s reading, and The Game Awards has not said anything about GTA VI.
