While many people are in quarantine, household isolation or self-isolation around the world during the Coronavirus crisis, one of the most important ways we can stay connected has been at our fingertips all along.

Playing video games online with and against friends and strangers has always been a fun thing to do. While the AI of computer programs can take a lot of beating whether you’re playing FIFA, Minecraft or Fortnite: Save the World, there’s no feeling like playing with your friends.

In four weeks, on May 2nd, the You Are Not Alone (YANA) fundraising event takes place, with the official website announcing that the charity drive will benefit a range of related charities as it’s the gamers choice. One example would see funds raised go directly to The Children’s Society.

With the drive a push to get 10 million gamers together around the world, the project has been backed by some very big names, with official partners such as Barclays, Codemasters, Sports Interactive, Esports Insider and Ubisoft all throwing their weight behind the mission.
