The upcoming Game Awards 2023 is evolving by stepping away from branding numerous trailers and announcements as "world premieres," a term deemed too nebulous by the event's organizers. Instead, the show will focus on presenting "great game content" to its audience. Additionally, enhanced security measures are set to be implemented to prevent disruptive stage crashers, a measure to ensure the safety of the host, audience, and participants. Geoff Keighley, the show's host, discussed these changes during a recent Q&A session on Twitch, addressing concerns and details about the show's content and security openly. Despite the changes, there are no new award categories planned for this year, but there has been speculation regarding future additions such as "Best DLC" and "Best Remake/Remaster" due to titles like Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty and the Resident Evil 4 Remake stirring discussion among fans.
