N.B.: In 2012, the show was known as "Spike Video Game Awards" (VGAs). From 2013 to 2016, no orchestra performed at the ceremony. The 2020 medley was performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios.
"Game music is so phenomenal and there's so few venues to hear it played live. When we started the show in 2014, we honestly just couldn't afford to do it: it's a big production to putted together. But we started it in 2017" Geoff Keighley, 2020
