The broadcast will highlight moments from a recent Special Olympics athlete tournament, where athletes and their Unified partners showcased teamwork and competitive play in Rocket League. The event aims to celebrate the athletes’ skills and the community that has been built around inclusive gaming. Don’t forget to tune in to the Xbox Twitch channel on October 14 at 10am Pacific, and the stream will also be available on the XboxASL Twitch channel. The showcase will air on Special Olympics’ YouTube immediately after the Xbox broadcast.
Xbox has partnered with Special Olympics since 2014 to promote accessibility and inclusion in gaming. Over the years, that partnership has included esports tournaments, shoutcaster training, and visits to Xbox Headquarters to spotlight how gaming can bring people together. This summer, nine Special Olympics athletes participated in a customized Xbox Game Camp on the Redmond campus. The two-day program offered studio tours, meetings with leadership, hands-on workshops in coding and game development, as well as sessions focused on accessibility innovations.
Xbox also points to ways to support Special Olympics programs. Visit Special Olympics to learn more, or the organization’s get involved page for donation and volunteering options. Rewards members in select markets can donate points to Special Olympics as well. Please share your thoughts in the comments and follow us on X and Bluesky.
