Charity Stream 2025

Supporting Child’s Play

We are thrilled to announce that Tuatara is hosting another charity stream in support of Child’s Play, the charity that delivers therapeutic games and technology directly to pediatric hospitals to improve patients’ lives through the power of play.

After raising over $12,000 for Child’s Play in previous events, we’re excited to come together again to share, and give back to the realtime visual effects and gamedev scene.

Join us for talks, portfolio reviews, lectures, and a Q&A segment with Tuatara experts! This year we will host all of our livestreams over on our YouTube channel, so make sure to subscribe to catch the streams!
