PlanetPlay is heading to Cologne for Gamescom 2026 – and we’d love to meet studios, publishers and partners interested in harnessing the power of games for environmental and social good.
PlanetPlay CEO Rhea Loucas, Chief Strategy Officer Jude Ower MBE and Co-CEO Felix Bradshaw will all be attending, with plenty to talk about – and even more opportunities for the industry to get involved in making an impact.
Bring Your Games to PlayForEveryChild
Top of our Gamescom agenda is the PlayForEveryChild PC Games Collection for UNICEF, launching this October as the first major initiative from PlanetPlay’s partnership with UNICEF.
The Collection will feature a curation of PC games, with 100% of PlanetPlay’s net profits from the PlayForEveryChild PC Games Collection channeled to UNICEF’s work for children, which ranges from education and healthcare programmes to climate resilience and emergency response.
We’re currently talking to studios and publishers about contributing games to the Collection – so if you’re attending Gamescom and would like to find out how your titles can become part of this global initiative, come and talk to us in Cologne.
PlanetPlay is managing the infrastructure, storefront, campaign delivery, reporting and donation transparency, making PlayForEveryChild a straightforward and scalable way for games companies of all sizes to get involved.
Make Your Next Green Move
PlayForEveryChild isn’t the only big project we’ll be discussing.
If your studio wants to explore how games can support positive environmental and social action, we’d also love to talk about Make Green Moves, our ongoing initiative helping studios integrate purpose-driven campaigns into games, live ops, DLC, bundles and community activations.
And yes, we’re already looking towards 2027.
Following this year’s Green Games Showcase at Summer Game Fest, we’d love to hear from studios and publishers interested in participating in the Green Games Showcase 2027 and helping us put another spotlight on games exploring nature, sustainability and positive social impact.
Catch Jude and Felix on Stage
Jude and Felix will also be taking part in a special panel session during Gamescom – ‘Play It Forward: How Gaming Gives Back’. It takes place at the Xsolla Clubhouse – Design Post | Deutz-Mühlheimer Str 22, Cologne on Thursday August 25th, from 11.30am to 1pm and will explore how brands and studios can drive social good.
Jude and Felix will be joined by Berkley Egenes, Chief Marketing & Growth Officer at Xsolla; Susanna Pollack, President of Games for Change; and a representative from UNICEF UK.
Do get in touch if you’d like to join us for what looks set to be a lively and engaging discussion!
