The Game Awards has announced that Google's Phil Harrison has officially joined the advisory board effective on March 27th. The company sent out the news yesterday, adding  Harrison to a board that currently has representatives from Activision, AMD, Electronic Arts, Kojima Productions, Microsoft, Nintendo of America, Rockstar Games, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Tencent, Ubisoft, Valve and WBIE. The board is not involved in the selection of award nominees or winners, in case you're wondering, and there was no indication as to what his role on the board would be, if there is one.

"We are thrilled to have Phil Harrison join our advisory board, which plays an important role in setting the strategic direction for The Game Awards," said Geoff Keighley, executive producer and creator, The Game Awards. "Phil's deep experience in this industry over many decades, not to mention his current role at Google, make him an invaluable addition as we head into our fifth anniversary show later this year."

We'll see in the months to come if Harrison's addition brings anything new to The Game Awards in 2019, but even if it's just behind-the-scenes stuff, it's pretty interesting to see a Google rep on the board.
