This year gamers from all over the world unite together for a very strong cause. Children in hospitals need our help. We are excited to announce that we are launching our Extra Life Team to help give back to those in our community in greatest need.
The PlanetSide 2 Extra Life Team is working towards a goal of surpassing $10,000 in donations to support Rady Children’s Hospital, our local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital in San Diego, CA. The studio is donating an initial $5,000 to kick off our fundraising, and we hope that you will consider joining or supporting our team to meet that goal together!
