The concert will be streamed online free thanks to sponsors Amazon Video Games and Ubisoft. Included in the 20 song set list, in addition to the aforementioned titles, will be music from Diablo 3, the Monkey Island series, Shadow of the Colossus, The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, Journey, Chrono Trigger and more.
