Gamescom 2021 is just around the corner and, like E3, that should come with tonnes of new announcements, follow-ups on announced games and brand new surprises. Needless to say, it's a pretty exciting time of year.
To get the most out of it, you really need to pay attention and get in there early. Here is how to watch the Gamescom Opening Night Live and when it starts.
When is the show?
Gamescom Opening Night Live is due to start on Wednesday, August 25th. You can see all the times for the preshow in the Tweet below.
Geoff Keighley, the host, has tweeted the times you can expect to see it across the world, a nice little touch before the show. Make sure to find your flag in the tweet above and get yourself ready for the day, maybe with a nice bowl of popcorn.
How to watch it
There are a few main ways of watching the show. Over on their Youtube channel, you can watch their official livestream. With just over 27k subscribers, the chat likely won't be that hectic on this one. If you want to see your own messages and interact with the crowd, this is the way to watch it.
Outside of this, you can also catch the show on their official Twitch channel. This has almost three times the followers so this should be a little more widely watched. If you want to engage in the hype and get a little lost in the crowd, this should be your choice.
Outside of this, plenty of streamers will be co-streaming the show on their respective platforms so there's a good chance your favourite spot for gaming commentary will be reacting to it. You can get all the latest updates and news on the night right here.
