Launching with longtime partner SpecialEffect, the new dedicated monthly offering turns game discovery into an ongoing way to support charitable causes
LONDON, UK, October 15, 2026 — Green Man Gaming (GMG) Today announced the launch of Care Package, a new monthly mystery-game bundle built around a simple idea: make discovering games fun while giving something meaningful back.
Each month, Care Package will bring players three mystery games and shine a light on a featured charity, with 100% of proceeds supporting that charity’s work. Green Man Gaming and participating publishers take no share.
The first Care Package supports SpecialEffect, one of Green Man Gaming’s longest-standing charity partners. The UK charity helps people with physical disabilities experience the joy of gaming through personalised assessments, adapted controllers and assistive technology. Its work goes beyond access to a game, helping create opportunities for independence, connection and shared experiences with family and friends.
The money raised through this inaugural Care Package will be used to help fund SpecialEffect’s Accessible Gaming Loan Library, the charity’s original programme, which continues to see rising demand after almost 20 years.
“For the people we support, being able to enjoy video games can have a huge impact on their overall quality of life. It means greater independence, connection and the opportunity to share experiences with family and friends. We’re incredibly grateful to Green Man Gaming, its publishing partners and the players who will be part of the first Care Package. Support like this helps us continue breaking down barriers to play and making gaming accessible to more people.” — Tom Donegan, Chief Operations Officer, SpecialEffect.
A dedicated monthly way to give through gaming
Care Package launches as Green Man Gaming celebrates the first anniversary of its charity bundles and a year of bringing players, publishers, and charities together around causes that matter.
GMG will continue its existing charity bundles, which support charitable causes through a percentage of proceeds. Care Package adds something new alongside them: a dedicated monthly offering where 100% of proceeds support the featured charity’s work.
Each month will feature a different charity, giving the GMG community a recurring opportunity to discover new games while supporting meaningful work.
“Over the past year, we’ve seen the gaming community come together around causes that matter. Care Package gives us another way to tap into that generosity while keeping the discovery and surprise that makes gaming fun. We’re especially proud to begin with SpecialEffect. We’ve worked with them for years and have seen the difference they make in helping more people experience the joy of gaming.” — Paul Sulyok, CEO, Green Man Gaming.
The games are a mystery. The impact isn’t.
October’s inaugural Care Package gives players three mystery games for $5, including a mix of AAA, indie, and catalogue titles, with the games revealed only after purchase.
The inaugural Care Package is available October 8 through October 31 at https://www.greenmangamingbundles.com/bundles/special-effect-care-package/.
Care Package is part of Green Man Gaming’s Play With Purpose social impact programme.
