Among the participants, HTML5 game platform Poki is supporting the campaign with themed updates across 20 of its titles and has pledged a portion of its revenue to the cause.

Content activations will begin rolling out from June 5th, 2026, with additional events and updates launching throughout the coming weeks.

The Green Game Jam is an annual challenge organised by Playing for the Planet that encourages video game studios with live games and established audiences to create themed in-game content focused on a specific environmental issue.
