It’s the weekend you’ve all been waiting for:
GameBlast
and (potentially more than)
twice the gains
, all rolled into one - a double whammy! Read on for further details, including more information about the charity:
SpecialEffect
, the full live stream schedule and how you can get involved.
So what’s GameBlast? In short, it's 24-hours of fun , live streamed in support of a good cause - all while you enjoy Double XP Weekend in game. We’ve got events, competitions, crazy challenges and more. You’ll even get an exclusive LootScape reward just for tuning in! Check out the schedule below.
SpecialEffect puts fun and inclusion back into the lives of people with physical disabilities by helping them to play video games.
By using technology ranging from modified joypads to eye-control, SpecialEffect is finding a way for people to play to the very best of their abilities. But they're not just doing it for fun. By levelling the playing field, they're bringing families and friends together and having a profoundly positive impact on therapy, confidence and rehabilitation.
