EA’s Play to Give initiative ties in-game challenges to charitable donations

EA today introduced a Play to Give, in which in-game challenges will be tied to charities. Success in challenges means money for those real-world charitable organisations.

The charities supported by EA include HeForShe, the National Centre for Women and Information Technology, CODE.org , CODE2040 and Special Effect. All up, EA will donate $1 million USD to these organisations.

EA offered up a couple examples of the challenges gamers will face. In Battlefield 4 and Battlefield: Hardline, challenges will be tied to in-game support.

In FIFA Ultimate Team, those who win the Play to Give Cup will be offered exclusive in-game items.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
