The 20th Game Developers Choice Awards was an annual awards ceremony by Game Developers Choice Awards for outstanding game developers and video games held on March 18, 2020, hosted by Kim Swift. Though normally held at the Game Developers Conference, due to the 2020 coronavirus outbreak, the conference was postponed to later in 2020, and the awards were presented via online streaming media, alongside the Independent Games Festival awards.{{cite web | url = https://venturebeat.com/2020/02/28/gdc-postponed-as-multiple-participants-pull-out-over-coronavirus-fears/ | title = GDC 'postponed' as multiple participants pull out over coronavirus fears | first = Jeff | last = Grubb | date = February 28, 2020 | accessdate = February 28, 2020 | work = Venture Beat }}{{cite web | url = https://www.gamedeveloper.com/game-platforms/game-developers-conference-2020-announces-virtual-awards-and-talk-schedule | title = Game Developers Conference 2020 announces virtual awards and talk schedule | date = March 10, 2020 |access-date =March 10, 2020 | work = Gamasutra }}

Kate Edwards, former head of the International Game Developers Association and current head of the Global Game Jam, will receive the Ambassador Award for her past and current work in the industry.

Following from a similar event with The Game Awards 2019, Geoff Keighley worked with several of the games featured in the Awards as well as other indie developers to present forty game demos to be available from March 18 to March 23 through Steam as part of the Steam Game Festival - Spring Edition. Keighley planned to offer further events throughout the year to tie to other award shows and game conferences.{{cite web | url = https://www.pcgamesn.com/steam-game-festival | title = Geoff Keighley brings 40 free game demos to Steam amid cancelled trade shows | first= Dustin | last= Bailey | date = March 17, 2020 | accessdate = March 17, 2020 | work = PCGamesN }} In addition to games that were featured as part of the GDC and IGF, the Steam Game Festival also featured demos from other GDC-sponsored events that had been affected by the pandemic such as the Indie Megabooth and the Day of the Devs.{{cite web | url = https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/18/21184319/steam-game-festival-sale-gdc-2020-indie-developers | title = Steam's new indie festival lets you try 40 upcoming games for free | first = Nick | last = Statt | date = March 18, 2020 | accessdate = March 18, 2020 | work = The Verge }}
