How you can help: One Special Steam Sale
Contribute one or more titles for our One Special Day Steam Sale. Many participating partners each year make this sale a standout opportunity for PR and CSR awareness.
Partners such as Hello Games, Devolver, Two Point Studios, SEGA, Double Fine, Skybound, Curve and 505 Games have all previously contributed titles to our hugely popular One Special Day Steam Sale. Onboarding is easy, and you can choose your donation percentage. Other partners, including Rare (Sea of Thieves) and Boneloaf (Gang Beasts) have chosen to donate Steam revenue outside of our sale.
How you can help: Make it One Special Event!
Make the most of One Special Day! It’s your opportunity to get creative with a diverse range of internal, external and regional staff fundraising events. Previous fantastic events have included cycle rides, pub quizzes, swims and game jams. This year’s events already include One Special Abseil! Whatever you decide, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
