Drawing on Safe In Our World's in-depth understanding of mental health in the gaming community and Ubisoft’s long-term commitment to create positive gaming experiences, they co-developed the “Good Game Playbook”, a guide designed to equip players to identify, counter, and shield themselves from in-game toxicity.
Whether players have witnessed, experienced, or even been the source of disruptive behaviour, this handbook offers guidance and will be provided to any player reporting or reported for such behaviour in Ubisoft games from today, 2nd November. From self-care practices and recognising one's triggers to understanding the broader implications of disruptive gameplay on players, the playbook is holistic in its approach.
This collaboration between Ubisoft and the experts at Safe In Our World builds on Ubisoft’s bigger journey of creating gaming structures that foster more rewarding social experiences and avoid harmful interactions through multiple approaches such as the Fair Play Program, Ubisoft’s online learning platform to promote positive in-game interactions or the “Zero Harm in Comms” research project launched with Riot Games.
“At Ubisoft, our key objective is to create games that foster positive online experiences. Partnering with Safe In Our World has enabled us to provide our players with an expert’s approach and advice on a very complex topic“ said Jérémy Marchadier, Director of Player Safety at Ubisoft. “While the challenge of in-game toxicity is multifaceted, we remain steadfast in our belief that with a collaborative and comprehensive strategy, we can usher in meaningful change.”
"We're delighted to see more proactive approaches to combatting in-game toxicity from Ubisoft, and hope that this empowers fellow game companies to put in place these types of measures to protect their player bases. Safe In Our World exists to create safer spaces in gaming, and this is a brilliant step contributing towards that." said Rosie Taylor, Content & Community Manager, Safe In Our World.
The Good Game Playbook will be sent out automatically to players reporting or reported for disruptive behaviour in Rainbow Six Siege and For Honor and can be accessed here. It will be available in English and French at launch and will be translated to more languages and extended to other Ubisoft games in the future.
