Jingle Jam is back with games doing good. The charity event that has raised more than £31 million since 2011 has named the first two games donors will get in this year’s Games Collection, and both arrive with big communities ready to play for eight causes.

Annual charity fundraising event Jingle Jam returns on December 1st for a fortnight of entertainment, uniting the world’s best games, creators, and their communities to help make the world the best place it can be for children and young people. Today, Jingle Jam has revealed the first two additions to this year’s Games Collection lineup: Secret Mode’s viral co-op hit Chained Together and Fireshine Games’ open-world survival crafting game Len’s Island.

The Jingle Jam is made unique by its games industry-led Games Collection, a bespoke, premium collection of games generously donated by developers and publishers annually, helping raise millions for Jingle Jam’s charity partners. Available for unbeatable value, the collection has inspired donors to turn up in their thousands since 2011 to donate to their favourite creators and support causes they care about.

In 2025, Jingle Jam raised £3.5 million, pushing the lifetime total past £31 million. This year’s event aims to go even further and raise transformational sums for eight incredible causes: Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), War Child UK, Become, Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity), Make-A-Wish, SpecialEffect, The Trevor Project and WWF UK.

Chained Together and Len’s Island join over 15 more games to be announced on December 1st at 5PM GMT when the Games Collection will be made available to anyone who donates £35 or more. Games from previous years’ Jingle Jam collections have included Core Keeper, Tactical Breach Wizards, Old World, Two Point Campus, Citizen Sleeper and Frostpunk.

To mark the occasion, Chained Together players will also be able to unlock a Jingle Jam Winter Warmer skin from December 1st, letting players climb from the depths while sporting some festive cheer in support of charity SpecialEffect. This free skin, made for Jingle Jam 2026, features a Jingle Jam winter knit jumper with a SpecialEffect back logo and some suitably Chained Together-appropriate ‘chain-heart’ sleeve patches.

Speaking on the inclusion of Len’s Island in this year’s Games Collection, Sarah Hoeksma, Chief Marketing Officer at Fireshine Games, said:

“Jingle Jam is a highlight of our year, and we’re proud to be back for a fifth year running. Every year it shows what the games industry, creators and players can achieve when they come together. Len’s Island is a perfect fit: a big open world to build, explore and survive in, with a wonderfully generous community behind it. We can’t wait to see players and creators dive in this December, all while supporting eight brilliant charities.”

Both games will also be taking center stage during the second week of Jingle Jam with dedicated fundraising events, featuring gameplay streams, creator challenges and more. Further details will be shared in the coming weeks.

Supporters won’t have to wait long to donate and get their hands on both Chained Together and Len’s Island as part of the official 2026 Jingle Jam Games Collection – there is just over two weeks to go until Jingle Jam kicks off on December 1st and the rest of the titles in the Games Collection will also be announced.

Registered Jingle Jam fundraisers can add the Games Collection to their Tiltify campaign pages, and all donors who give £35 or more to their campaigns will receive keys to the selection of games. Over 500 content creators have already registered to fundraise for Jingle Jam, including DanTDM, Yinrun Huang, Elz The Witch, The King of Chemo, Gabi Belle, 5ive Guys FC, Tubbo, Smosh, Talia Mar, Zentreya, Jack Manifold, Team Theorist, ArthurTV, Zealand, High Rollers DnD, Outside Xbox and Aliona Baranova, alongside Jingle Jam mainstays The Spiffing Brit and RTGame, and event founders The Yogscast.

Humanity’s last hope is now a mission you can step inside. Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars is out now, a mixed-reality adventure that tells a previously untold chapter of Andy Weir’s bestselling sci-fi universe.

The immersive mixed reality experience launched on PICO, Android XR and Meta Quest 3/3S. It comes from Maze Theory, the award-winning London-based immersive entertainment studio behind Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom and Doctor Who: The Edge of Time.

Players step into the role of Ryland Grace. Ryland Grace and his friend and crewmate Rocky must work together in the face of disaster to keep the Hail Mary intact and bring their world-saving cargo to Eridani — Rocky’s home planet, and Grace’s new home.

It is a story of trust and communication between species. As this mixed-reality experience blends your physical environment with the Hail Mary itself, players diagnose problems, improvise solutions and push the limits of science and engineering to keep the mission alive.

Along the way, players work alongside Rocky to keep the mission alive, diagnose failing systems and improvise scientific solutions, and manage their ship and its precious cargo as they travel through the stars — experiencing humanity’s last hope firsthand.
