Gaming is going green – and some of the biggest game companies hope players will, too.
Jennifer PeltzUNITED NATIONS –
“I believe games and gamers can be a force for social change and would love to see our global community unite to help our planet to survive and thrive,” Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan said on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly gathering of world leaders. Some games are set in drowning coastal cities, educate children about wildlife or otherwise address environmental issues. Former U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon anointed the"Angry Birds" character Red as an “honorary ambassador for green” in 2016.
The “Playing for the Planet” pledges come from an industry that isn’t always seen as nurturing societal good. Microsoft plans to make 825,000 Xbox consoles that are carbon-neutral – or don’t cause any net increases in heat-trapping carbon dioxide – and to promote real-life sustainability activities through its massive-selling game"Minecraft."
Google’s upcoming Stadia streaming service finances research on how people can be inspired to change their behavior through games.
