When The Game Awards start cranking out trinkets and marketing tomorrow night, you'll be able to watch the whole shebang from within an official "metaverse experience" in game-making platform Core.

A press release from The Game Awards describe Axial Tilt as "an interactive world that serves as a metaverse hub for programming and events hosted by Geoff Keighley." I describe it as a bad game where you run around grinding resource nodes to get materials to power up abilities to grind better and craft powercells to do..?

Axial Tilt will host a virtual red carpet before the show, you'll be able to watch them on the in-game cinema, you can win skins by guessing winers, and an afterparty with "a special guest DJ" will close out the night.

"The emergence of new metaverse platforms like Core, and the social experiences they enable around live events, presented an amazing opportunity to give fans a new interactive way to enjoy the show.

It seems perfectly fitting for The Game Awards to launch a shallow and boring experience inside one of the platforms which mutters about "the metaverse" while trying to chase Roblox's success.

And Donald will present a trophy at The Game Awards, so I guess he's presenting a trophy inside Core as well.

As well as inside Core, you'll be able to watch them on YouTube, Twitch, and a half-dozen other streaming platforms.
