We're all About Our Local Community
Make A Positive Impact.
Charity Initiatives
At Hi-Rez we believe that there is no limit to what we are able to accomplish when we have the passion and drive to make a positive impact. While our mission has always been to make great games, we also realize that we carry a social responsibility to invest in our local communities in meaningful ways. We take that responsibility seriously & we work hard to foster partnerships with organizations making a difference & create opportunities for our Hi-Rez family to contribute to the causes that are important to them.
We believe that the video game industry has the passion and potential to make a marked difference and we are committed to continue to be a driving force for good in our local communities and around the world.
