Beyond-FX x Extra Life Returns!

Better Than Ever

We previously announced that Beyond-FX would once again be taking part in the Extra Life charity campaign. So far this year, we’ve raised a grand total of $2,610 in donations. The funds went to an organization close to our hearts, Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. The 12-hour livestream, on the Beyond-FX Arcade Twitch channel, was a massive success and naturally we’re back again to take part in Extra Life’s global Game Day initiative. This admirable campaign sees creators across the nation taking part in 24-hour livestreams, raising both awareness and funds in the process. 

The event takes place on November 2nd, 2024, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg for what we want to achieve. So, we decided to host two days full of live streaming and it won’t just be Beyond-FX along for the ride. This year will be our third time participating in the initiative, and so we thought we’d team up with some friends!

The Two Day Event 

We’re working together with three, yes, count them, three of our sister studios, for a special extra treat. CounterPunch, Virtuos Montreal and Virtuos North America will be coming together for what we’re calling the Extra Life Pre-Show. This will take place from 10 AM PDT on November 1st 2024, and will run for 6 hours of streaming goodness. 

Then, on November 2nd, Beyond-FX goes for its 24-hour lifestream extravaganza, beginning at 10 AM PDT. The team will be taking it in turns to play some of their favorite games, including Overcooked, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Elden Ring. You can view the full schedule below. 

Our goal is to raise $4,000 for Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. Beyond-FX will match all donations up to $1,500 that come in before 11:59 PM PDT on November 1st 2024.

Getting Involved 

We’d love it if you could join us on that journey by donating, watching our channel, chatting with us, or all three! You can head to our donation page right now, to get more information about how you can contribute! And don’t forget to tell your friends, working together to expand our community.  

We also encourage you to find out more about the Extra Life campaign and the work that they do across Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. The program is intended to bring content creators together, encouraging them to play both video games and tabletop titles to help raise funds for these crucial healthcare hubs. 

Feel free to reach out throughout the stream and don’t hesitate to ask us more about our other charitable efforts and how you can take part. We hope to see you there!
