The Game Awards is the culmination of an awards season, with winners chosen by voting members of an academy or industry body. The Game Awards falls on a Thursday this year, a midweek date — worth noting if you want to plan time off around it.
Counting down turns a vague "soon" into a clear number of days you can plan around — booking travel, sending cards, or simply building anticipation. Many people begin preparing for a date like this two to three months ahead, and a visible countdown helps pace that preparation rather than leaving everything to the final week. If you are counting down to The Game Awards, you can add a free Outside countdown widget to your iPhone home screen; it updates every day and can be shared with friends and family.
