Unlike most other large-scale events taking place in the following months, NG20 and the Nordic Game Awards are not being postponed or cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic. However, the event will "strictly adhere to best-practice heath precautions" and stream many of its talks online to ticket holders who can't attend. In addition, preparations are being made for meetings to be held remotely instead of in-person during the event—if needed. Finally, due to the restrictions on this year's May event, all ticket holders will automatically be able to attend NG20+ in November of this year.

The Nordic Game Awards will be held and livestreamed on 28th May 2020.
