Ved sidste års Game Awards indtog en uvelkommen person scenen da FromSoftware accepterede prisen for Game of the Year, og ligeledes var der en GTA-fan der indtog scenen meget kortvarigt under Gamescoms Opening Night Live.
Det lader dog til at Keighley og kompagni desværre har lært at de ikke kan stole på publikummet, så derfor strammes sikkerheden gevaldigt ved dette års Game Awards, der løber af stablen inden alt for længe. Under en nylig Q&A siger Keighley dette:
"Yes, we are working on it. We don't want to talk about those things too publicly, basically because it's about security. We definitely have plans and we're trying to do everything we can to keep me safe, but also everyone watching the show, the audience, the people involved in the show and everything. It's something we're thinking about. We appreciate the concern. Believe me, it's something we're very mindful of, but we also want to put on a great show that celebrates these games and our love of video games. But yes, I appreciate the concern about that."</em>
Vi håber at showet kan afvikles uden problemer denne gang.
