The Game Awards 2021 are happening today, bringing the industry together for a night of celebration as well as plenty of game news and announcements. Host and producer Geoff Keighley is at the center of the show, but there will be plenty of special guest presenters, as well as musical performances from top artists. Keighley has been sharing news on the presenters in the days leading up to The Game Awards, and we've rounded them up here.
