The theme of our game jam hosted with COREBLAZER is…

Generosity!

Games are their own unique worlds. But how often do we just take from these worlds? What if we reimagined gaming through the lens of generosity?

Generosity is about giving, and creating meaningful connections between people, communities, and our worlds! When these threads of connection interweave, something magical happens. ✨🎮

Good luck!

A game jam from 2025-05-17 to 2025-07-05 hosted by COREBLAZER & thatgamecompany. Brought to you by thatgamecompany and COREBLAZER ! About thatgamecompany Dedicated to creating timeless interactive entertainment that inspires human...

The connections players make in Sky: Children of the Light inspire us every day.

From surprise parties to spontaneous music gatherings, Sky kids constantly find creative ways to make each other’s days a little brighter. *Celebrate Friendship,* our first live-action campaign, is our way of sharing these beautiful moments of connection with the world.

We wanted to go beyond the screens to show what those moments look like in real life—the joy of planning or creating something special for a friend and the warmth of being on the receiving end of that kindness. And we wanted this message to resonate with a wider, multi-generational audience, so when the idea to use A Tribe Called Quest’s iconic “Can I Kick It” came up, we knew it was the perfect fit. The song’s upbeat energy, timeless appeal, and celebration of friendship make it an ideal choice—not just for longtime Sky fans, but for anyone who understands the simple joy of spending time with friends.

We hope this campaign inspires you to Celebrate Friendship too!
