The Gayming Awards 2026 on WOW Presents Plus
The Gayming Awards, the world's only LGBTQ+ video game award show, premiered exclusively on World of Wonder's WOW Presents Plus app for the first time in July 2025. The partnership delivered on bringing video game and geek culture into LGBTQ cultural mainstream through broadcast on a major streaming platform. The campaign saw the biggest press launch to date for the Awards, the most votes cast in the Awards' five year history, and the gathering of over 300 celebrities, influencers, and industry notables at the red carpet premiere in LA.
Building on the success of the Gayming Awards and the significant uptick in interest in gaming and geek culture, World of Wonder has also green lit Celebrity Gaymers, a new celebrity interview concept from Gayming Magazine and its parent company, Gray Jones Media. This new concept will see major LGBTQ+ celebrities interviewed about their love of gaming, how it has influenced their lives and other reflections on LGBTQ+ gaming & geek culture. Nomination submissions for the Gayming Awards 2026 will open in January 2026 with the show set to broadcast in June 2026 on WOW Presents Plus.
Celebrity Gaymers has yet to confirm an air date, but a Fall 2026 release is planned on WOW Presents Plus, joining World of Wonder's extensive catalogue of award-winning original programming, including the entire international Drag Race franchise, World of Wonder-produced documentary films, licensed content including House on Fire and recently premiered scripted comedy I Hate People, People Hate Me.
