Taking place across <strong>September 25 and 26 2024<\/strong> \u2013 a mere two weeks away \u2013 24 hours of high-quality game dev football will be livestreamed on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/XboxOn\">Twitch<\/a> for everyone\u2019s viewing pleasure, all in the name of raising money for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.specialeffect.org.uk\/\">SpecialEffect<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>One Big Game has come a long way since its inception in 2020: what started off as a <em>FIFA<\/em>-based rivalry between Xbox Game Studios Rare and Playground Games evolved into a real-life football face-off between the teams in 2021, and has now transformed into a multi-studio, 24-hour effort played and broadcast live from the English FA\u2019s national football centre. This will be the second time the One Big Game squad have attempted to pull off an event on this scale, with 2023\u2019s event raising an astonishing <strong>\u00a330,596<\/strong> overall.<\/p>\n<p>Building on the brilliant efforts of last year\u2019s One Big Game, teams from games companies such as Activision, Jagex, Ninja Theory, Ubisoft and more will come together to decide once and for all (or for at least a year) who is better: Team Red or Team Blue. All teams taking part will be assigned to represent one of those colours and will play in a full 90-minute match, where the final score will contribute to the overall Team Red and Team Blue tallies.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"http:\/\/dulcipass.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/PGxRare_23-063af122864efc7b6ef5.jpg\" alt=\"Rare One Big Game Team Line-ups Image\" class=\"wp-image-204178\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>The sporting showdown will kick off at 7pm BST on September 25, with coverage beginning on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/XboxOn\">Xbox On Twitch channel<\/a> from 6:30pm BST \u2013 and then at approximately 7:15pm BST on September 26, the final score will be settled alongside the final whistle, when one brave band of players will emerge victorious. You can expect to see some familiar faces on the broadcast and commentary team too, with the Xbox On crew (and some special guests!) taking the reins on hosting the event.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re once again thrilled to have the support of so many studios across the UK, all of whom are remarkably enthusiastic about donating their legs, lactic acid and, in some cases, dignity to raise money for SpecialEffect. We\u2019re so proud to be bringing so many people together both on and off the pitch, and this event promises to be an incredibly special show of skill, spirit and generosity amongst the games industry community.<\/p>\n<p>As Xbox Game Studios, we&nbsp;couldn\u2019t be prouder&nbsp;to support&nbsp;SpecialEffect\u2019s&nbsp;mission to level the playing field for all gamers with disabilities. For many people, games are a vital form of recreation and games like <em>Sea of Thieves<\/em> and <em>Forza Horizon 5<\/em> have a particular role to play in connecting gamers with additional needs. SpecialEffect uses innovative technology to make gaming accessible to all, and your donations will allow this charity to continue supporting disabled gamers well into the future.<\/p>\n<p>So please, if you can, tune in from Wednesday, September 25 for competition, camaraderie and absolutely corking goals from the participating players. Rivalries will be born, heroes will be made and friendships will be forged on the immaculate astroturf of the Sir Alf Ramsey Pitch at St. George\u2019s Park. And, most importantly, vital funds will be raised for charity. If you\u2019d like to get the ball rolling with donations, please head over to the <a href=\"https:\/\/tilt.fyi\/0Ypx1NRQ0R\">One Big Game \u201924 Tiltify donation page<\/a> to pledge your support.<\/p>\n<p>See you on the 25th \u2013 and don\u2019t forget your stretches!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>.post-template-default .xwsrc-block-content-block
