Valve will give away a Steam Deck every minute that The Game Awards is live

The Game Awards is coming up next week and while typically Valve gets involved with the event through Steam sales, this year, the company will be doing something a little bigger. Steam will be broadcasting the show as it airs, all while giving away a Steam Deck to a viewer every minute. 

Valve's Steam TV streaming service is primarily used for broadcasting esports tournaments, but it will also be one of the places streaming The Game Awards this year. You can log in to view the stream with your Steam account, putting you in an ongoing raffle to win a Steam Deck. Valve will be giving away one 512GB Steam Deck every minute that the show is live, so by the end of it, Valve will have given away around 170 consoles.

The 512GB Steam Deck is Valve's highest tier model, offering the most storage space and uses a speedy M.2 SSD for quick loading times. This version of the handheld also has an anti-glare display and comes with some exclusive extras, like a more premium carrying case and virtual items for your Steam profile.

The Game Awards will be airing on the 8th of December, starting at 7:30PM ET. Viewers will have to be based in the US, Canada, UK or the EU in order to be eligible to win a Steam Deck.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
