Bailey told GamesRadar: "How exciting to be hosting the Golden Joystick Awards this year with my wonderful husband and fellow actor, Travis. We've had opportunities to work together before (as Marvel fans out there might know) but this is a fantastic chance to look back and reflect on what has been an amazing year for interactive entertainment. Join us on November 24th to celebrate the developers and creators who have thrilled and enthralled us in 2020!"

Willingham also said: "It’s an incredible treat to host The Golden Joystick awards this year.  Laura and I have been lucky enough to work with some of the incredible games creators and developers nominated this year and it is such a thrill to be able to honor their talent at this year’s event. Tune in on November 24th to find out the results."

Daniel Dawkins, Content Director, Games and Film at Future said: "Thank you to all the fans who have voted and all the developers and creators who are joining us virtually from their homes and studios all over the world.”
