This year’s Game Awards were watched by 1.93 million viewers, according to Geoff Keighley. That’s more than a 75 percent increase over the number of viewers who tuned in for Spike TV’s Video Game Awards last year.

Keighley told Polygon:

“I was really happy with how things turned out. Certainly the audience numbers were well beyond my wildest dreams, and creatively I’m proud of what we put on the screen. Moments like the tribute to Ken and Roberta Williams and the Koji Kondo/Imagine Dragons performance were once in a lifetime experiences.”

Despite The Game Awards’ successful viewership, the event wasn’t exactly a financial success for Keighley. Only about 3,000 of the 4,000 available seats were filled, and only about half of attendees paid for tickets. If there are future Game Awards, costs for the show would likely be much less due to the elimination of start-up fees such as having WETA design the trophy, recording the show’s theme with Marty O’Donnell and building the show’s website.

As for the future, Keighley would only say:

“I’d definitely like to see it continue on if publishers and fans want to keep it going. But yeah, no idea what shape it will take.”
