Xbox To Make A Special Announement During The Game Awards

By Keith MitchellDecember 6, 2018
The Games Awards

We’re just a few hours away from The Game Awards show and now it looks like Microsoft wants to get you even more hyped. In fact, they’re teasing some sort of announcement that will take place during the show. 

When the hype is heavy but you're ready.

The question that’s on everyone’s mind is, what exactly could they be announcing? Well, play the speculation game and see what we can come up with. Their most recent announcement was the acquisition of two gaming developers, so another pick up isn’t out of the question. However, they seem to be hinting towards hype. So unless they’re picking up a developer with rockstar status, that isn’t it. Perhaps it’s an announcement of a new game, one that we haven’t heard about yet. That could get the crowd hyped up for sure.

However, since they’re mentioning Mixer, Microsoft’s streaming platform, perhaps it’s something exclusive to that? Like a Mixpot, where you watch the stream on Mixer and you get bonuses like free games, in-game goodies and more.

Seriously, we’d be here all day trying to figure this out. So just tune to https://mixer.com/TheGameAwards at 5:30 PM PST / 8:30 PM EST to find out. And while we got you here, what are you looking for to during the show? Let us know in the comments!
