As with previous years, the show featured exclusive world premieres of game demos and trailers. It featured extended demos of next-generation games, one-on-one interviews, and 'a more intimate studio setting.' Rather than airing live on Spike TV, the show was livestreamed online on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Twitch, Steam, iOS, and Android devices, as well as on and the websites of Spike, Comedy Central, MTV, MTV2, and BET. The show featured a different format from previous years. The 2013 awards, the final awards show, was rebranded as VGX and held on December 7, 2013, and was hosted by Joel McHale. Geoff Keighley went on to create his own video game award show in the form of The Game Awards starting in that year, dropping the support from Spike. On November 10, 2014, it was announced that Spike would drop their award show, ending their decade-long run. Changes from the previous format included 'in-depth extended demos of the next generation of games and interactive one-on-one interviews and panels in an intimate studio setting.' The last award show, carrying this name, aired on December 7.

On November 15, 2013, Spike announced a new format under the name VGX, calling it 'The next generation of the VGAs'. Spike's only Video Game Hall of Fame award, given to The Legend of Zelda, was awarded at the 2011 awards show. The VGAs was held at various locations in Los Angeles and Santa Monica, California as well as Las Vegas, Nevada. Produced by GameTrailers TV's Geoff Keighley, the show featured preview trailers for upcoming games, live music performances and appearances by popular performers in music, movies, and television. The Spike Video Game Awards (in short VGAs, known as the VGX for the final show) was an annual award show hosted by American television network Spike from 2003 to 2013 that recognized the best computer and video games of the year.
