The Game Awards is returning in December 2022, celebrating the best video games, esports players, and content creators of the year.

Games like Horizon: Forbidden West, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, God of War Ragnarok, and Elden Ring have dominated most categories. But the Content Creator of the Year award is a break from these games for a closer look at some popular faces on Twitch and YouTube.

The Game Awards described the Content Creator of the Year award as “for a streamer or content creator who has made an impact and positive impact on the community in 2022.” Here are the nominees.
