CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AT VIRTUOS: A YEAR IN REVIEW

At Virtuos, we believe that it is our responsibility to give back to the communities around us.

As a game developer with a global reach, our purpose is not just about making the very best AAA games. Aside from being pure entertainment, games can serve as inspiration and encouragement to become better versions of ourselves.

Whether it’s about taking care of our environment, empowering the less fortunate to pursue their dreams, or simply building an inclusive society, it is about being a team player as part of a greater whole. And this is aligned to our new purpose on making games better, together.

Take a look at the meaningful CSR activities we performed in 2020.

Shanghai Green IT Classroom – November: A collaboration with charity organization Net Spring that aims to help underprivileged children and protect the environment by developing the recycling community, creating shared value between developed and under-developed Chinese areas and helping vulnerable groups.
