The goal of the contributions from EA is to give back to the community, and support a more inclusive environment in gaming, along with helping future creators. To commemorate the event, EA is offering up some in-game challenges to allow you to show your support.
Games with challenges include FIFA 16 and Madden 16, with Battlefield 4, Battlefield Hardline, Star Wars Battlefront, and Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes representing the core audience. Each challenge will offer special rewards for their respective games. You can find a list of the games and their rewards below, via the blog post from EA. More details on the challenges will be revealed soon. You can get more information on Play to Give from EA’s website.
