Det ser ut til at vi kommer til å få en ny runde med The Video Game Awards også neste år, for ifølge en artikkel på Polygon skal årets sending ha tiltrukket vanvittige 1,93 millioner seere. Dette er en økning på 75 prosent fra fjorårets VGX, og produsent Geoff Keighley er forbløffet over resultatet:
"I am absolutely stunned by the results. We didn't have any marketing budget or TV spots for the show. I'm used to having a lot of support resources - a promotional team, a digital media team, a PR team. All we had was the support of the game publishers and fans to spread the word and on social media."
Keighley forklarer også hvorfor han valgte å satse på å booke inn kjendiser som blant andre Kiefer Sutherland og Conan O'Brien:
"I always knew the show would get a better critical response from the community, but in many ways I was making a more serious show that risked not having as much mainstream appeal. That's why Kiefer Sutherland, Conan O'Brien, Trey Parker and Imagine Dragons were such important bookings. All of them truly love games and came to celebrate our medium."
