Ubisoft partners with Safe in Our World on anti-toxicity playbook

Ubisoft announced this week it has partnered with mental wellness charity Safe in Our World on the Good Guide Playbook. The new collaborative effort is a guide that helps players identify and shield themselves from various kinds of online and in-game toxicity. According to Ubisoft, the Playbook is part of its ongoing efforts to build safer, more rewarding social spaces within its games. Ubisoft plans to distribute it to players who report others for toxicity, as well as those who have been reported.

According to Safe in Our World, the Playbook provides examples of toxic behavior to help users better identify it in themselves and others. It also educates players on the effect of toxic behavior on the larger community, helps players identify triggers that might cause them to behave in disruptive ways and also offers players tips on how to practice self-care to help themselves recover from toxic interactions.
