“During the past five years, PlayStation fans have made up a significant portion of our fundraising force, and in effect have changed sick and injured kids’ lives in their own communities,” said Jeromy Adams, founder of Extra Life. “We are beyond thrilled to have SCEA’s support this year, and look forward to welcoming a whole new group of ‘Extra Lifers’ over the next month. No matter how you play, ‘Extra Life’ proves that gaming and doing good can be one and the same.”

PlayStation Digital Platforms sr. manager Matthew Harper added: “We’re always finding ways to give back to the community, and ‘Extra Life’ is one of the best ways to engage PlayStation fans to join us in helping those in need. PlayStation is for gamers, and we are thrilled at the opportunity to call on the PlayStation Nation to help us game for good.”
