Two weeks of livestreams from influencers and gamers will support 12 brilliant charitable projects
Donors will receive a huge collection of more than 70 games worth over £1,100, including the brand-new game Make Way from publisher Secret Mode!
Jingle Jam, the world’s largest games charity event, returns next week with its biggest-ever fundraising push.
Kicking off at 5:00pm GMT on December 1, Jingle Jam 2023 will feature two wonderful weeks of epic, heart-warming fundraising streams across multiple channels and see the return of the annual Jingle Jam Games Collection – a special collection of over 70 Steam games offered by a huge range of developers and publishers provided as a reward for a charitable donation.
This year’s Jingle Jam Games Collection is the most valuable yet, with more than 70 games worth over £1,100, available to anyone who donates £35 (about $42) or more here.
For the first time ever, a brand-new game will be released as part of the event, with publisher Secret Mode launching multiplayer racing game Make Way as part of the Games Collection. Steam keys for Make Way bought as part of the Jingle Jam bundle will activate on 4 December.
However, it’s not just about the receiving: Christmas is a time of giving, and Jingle Jam has been doing that for the last 12 years, raising over £23m for a variety of charities since its inception in 2011.
Content creators and gamers from around the world who support the Jingle Jam will unlock access to the Games Collection as a fundraising reward for their fans.
Last year more than 300 influencers, community fundraisers, charities, and games companies ran their own Jingle Jam streams as part of the event, collectively raising over £3.4m.
Anyone wanting to get involved this year can register on Tiltify and take part by heading here.
The Yogscast’s annual livestreams will be central to the fun, hosted by members of the collective and their friends and featuring some of the most popular creators across Twitch and YouTube.
Jingle Jam 2023 runs until 14 December on fundraising platform Tiltify, with the Jingle Jam Games Collection limited to 100,000 copies. Delivered via e-mail as individual keys to be redeemed on Steam, the games can be given away or shared over the holiday season but must be activated before the end of December.
The full list of games won’t be announced until Jingle Jam begins, but the Collection will include the release of Secret Mode’s Make Way, a fast-paced thrill ride with a simple mantra: Build, Race, Win,
Repeat. Players must build their own tracks alongside their friends with a set of randomly selected pieces before battling in round-based races to take the top spot on their ever-expanding courses. With a wide array of obstacles and track pieces to unlock and use, no two races will ever be the same.
There are many more, and on top of the games, everyone who donates £35 or more will also receive discount coupons for Jingle Jam partners Fanatical and Displate.
“Massive thanks to the global games industry for coming through for Jingle Jam again, especially Secret Mode for launching Make Way as part of this year’s Collection. With their support we hope we’ll be able to top last year’s massive figure for the 12 incredible charities we’re supporting this year,” says Lewis Brindley, Jingle Jam Trustee and Yogscast co-founder.
