Players Can Engage in Five “Play to Give” In-Game Events Starting June 12
June 9, 2016 – As EA prepares to kick off EA PLAY, we are taking this opportunity to celebrate the global gaming community and give back to organizations fostering a better world for players everywhere. Starting June 12, EA will launch five in-game challenges through our Play to Give program and will be donating a total of $1 million to these five organizations to honor our players: UN Women’s HeForShe Initiative, Code.org, National Center for Women & Information Technology, CODE2040 and SpecialEffect. Learn more about these charities and why they matter to EA here.
Players can celebrate Play to Give by completing any of the five in-game challenges that kick off with the start of EA PLAY on June 12, where they’ll be able to earn special rewards:
- Battlefield™ 4™ and Battlefield™ Hardline: Earn a Gold Battlepack by providing supplies to your teammates in need. As a community, Battlefield 4 players are challenged with getting a 45 million total re-supply score and Battlefield Hardline players are challenged with getting a 5 million re-supply score from June 12-17. By achieving either of those goals, contributing players will get rewarded with an extra Gold Battlepack via Battlelog.
- Star Wars™ Battlefront™: Players who complete any multiplayer match from June 12-14 can participate in the 3X Score Event, earning triple score and credits.
- Star Wars™: Galaxy of Heroes: From June 12 – 14 deploy a squad of female characters in Star Wars against the droids. Completing the quest for the first time will get you 50,000 credits, 1 Rey shard, 1 Princess Leia shard, and 25 shards needed to unlock a Jedi Knight Guardian. Subsequent completions will unlock shards of Princess Leia, Rey, Barriss Offee or Ahsoka Tano.
