Once again, The New York Game Awards is proud to welcome Twitch as our Official Streaming Partner on January 24, 2018 at 7:30 pm East Coast Time. Twitch has been a loyal supporter of what we have done in the last seven years.

Twitch has taken a deep interest as we’ve moved to become a non-profit organization.

That’s because the New York Videogame Critics Circle gives back to the community in many ways: with scholarships and mentoring of high schools students, with workshops for older adults, with readings and panel discussions at the New York Public Library system – and more.

Personally, I’ve watched Twitch’s growth with a combination of awe and pride. There’s awe because of the masses of gamers who flock to Twitch. And there’s pride because I realize that Chase, whom I’ve known since he was a games writer, has been an important part of the site’s massive evolution.

So be part of the festivities and watch the New York Game Awards live on our Twitch channel on January 24 at 7:30 pm East Coast Time. You’ll see Bethesda Game Studio’s Todd Howard get his Legend Award and watch our critics-made documentary about him. You’ll see world premieres for Octogedden and Where The Water Tastes Like Wine. There’ll be two bands as well, along with so many game luminaries – including Geoff Keighley. All on Twitch!
