Small Actions, Big Impact

The Green Game Jam is an annual project organised by Playing for the Planet where gaming studios are challenged to implement 'green activations' into their games. This year's wildlife edition has raised over $700,000 to protect wildlife in the Amazon, Himalayas, and Western Indian Ocean.
A big thank you to the 40+ studios that have participated in 2023. Your creativity and effort are making a difference.

2022 saw an all-time-high level of reach for the Green Game Jam, reaching a possible 275,559,000 aggregated monthly active users. This resulted in 2,484,254 trees planted as a result of in-game activations. Playing for the Planet worked with Ecosia, a search engine that plants trees, and Ecologi, an environmental organization specializing in climate projects to ensure delivery of the reforestation goal.

The second-annual Green Game Jam, brought together the biggest names in video games across PC, mobile and console to educate and empower millions of players to act for nature. More than 25 studios from around the world, including teams from Ubisoft, Mojang Studios, Niantic, Sony Interactive Entertainment and Ustwo Games, collaborate and commit to implementing green activations themed around conserving and restoring forests and oceans.

In 2022, 42 games entered the Jam with a potential reach of 275,559,000 aggregated monthly active users. This was a record number of entries, with an all-time-high level of reach and resulted in 2,484,254 trees planted as a result of in-game activations. Playing for the Planet worked with Ecosia, a search engine that plants trees, and Ecologi, an environmental organization specializing in climate projects to ensure delivery of the reforestation goal.

Monday 22nd - Sunday 28th April

A week for studios taking part in the Green Game Jam 2024 to carry out their own “real-world” action for the planet - from wildlife volunteering to in-office changes. Kicking off on Monday (Earth Day) and running until the end of the week, this is a chance for those building in-game activations to get hands-on inspiration.

We’re asking players to take action, so let’s show we can “walk the talk” for the planet ourselves.
