Update:
CD Projekt RED and GOG join the “Playing for Türkiye and Syria” charity event

Global Game Jam and Women in Games have organized a charity streaming event called “Playing for Türkiye and Syria”, with which they aim to gather support for the victims of the terrible earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria on February 6, 2023. Now, CD Projekt RED and GOG.com have announced that they’ll participate in the event to help raise awareness and to support the ongoing relief efforts in the region.

As mentioned above, almost a month ago several regions of Turkey and Syria were struck by a devastating earthquake that leveled multiple cities. Over 30,000 people lost their lives during the tragedy, and the millions that survived were left without a home or shelter in the middle of a harsh winter. The victims of this event now need aid due to a lack of access to food, clean water to drink, and warm clothes and shelter to survive in. This is what the event is aiming to do.

How to watch and support the “Playing for Türkiye and Syria” charity livestream

The 24 hour-long stream will start on March 16th, 2023 at 11 AM CET / 10 AM GMT / 2 AM PST / 5 AM EST, and will see representatives from across the gaming industry livestream to raise money for the victims of the tragic events that took place across Türkiye and Syria in February. Viewers can expect live gameplay and chats with developers and streamers, giveaways, as well as other activities. Paweł Sasko, Quest Director at CD PROJEKT RED, will also make an appearance. The main stream will take place on the official Global Game Jam and Women in Games channels on Twitch, with re-streams also available on channels of participating parties.

You can watch the stream from any of the following links:

Humble Bundle has also joined the support efforts, and is currently offering a massive Bundle of over 70 games, ebooks, and comics that you can get if you donate $30 USD or more. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Direct Relief, International Medical Corps, and Save the Children, which are some of the organizations currently in support of the Turkey and Syria regions. This bundle includes titles like Gotham Knights, Ghostrunner, Pathfinder: Kingmaker Enhanced Plus Edition, XCOM 2, PAYDAY 2, and Euro Truck Simulator, and many more.

You can learn more about this event and the ongoing support through the event’s official website.
