Globe goes all-in on games, esports with campaign, GoPLAY, Gamer Grounds
Globe is going all-in when it comes to their games and esports efforts in 2022, launching an advocacy campaign, improved data promos, and an all-new gaming platform, Globe Gamer Grounds.
With millions of Filipinos playing online games on their mobiles, PCs, and consoles, Globe has launched the Game Well-Played to foster camaraderie among gamers.
This campaign kicked off with the #KakalaroKoYanWithGlobe movement, encouraging everyone to share the benefits gaming has brought in their everyday lives to break the stereotype.
Gamers may post their answers to the question “Ano nga ba ang napapala ko sa paglalaro” (What do I get from gaming in the first place?) on social media using the campaign hashtag.
A new digital film produced by Globe, Good Son, can now be streamed by clicking here. The narrative focuses on how the player draws support from his gaming community to help his family’s needs.
Improved GoPLAY offers
To make gaming more accessible, Globe has also improved its Go+ offers with GoPLAY.
With the promo focused on popular games, subscribers may enjoy playing the following games, without having to worry about running out of data:
- Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB)
- PUBG Mobile
- Call of Duty Mobile (CODM)
- League of Legends Wild Rift
- Valorant
- Legends of Runeterra
Globe has also recently added Genshin Impact and Pokemon Unite to its roster for GoPLAY.
Globe Gamer Grounds
Lastly, Globe has partnered with leading tech solutions companies to bring Globe Gamer Grounds live.
It will be an all-in-one gaming platform which welcomes all gamers, from newbies to pros.
The platform will enable users to connect with friends, play together, buy upgrades for characters, and more.

AMD FSR Upscaling 4.1 now available for Radeon RX 7000 Series
Update drops earlier than expected, powering more than 300 supported games
PC and handheld gamers can officially skip the wait, as AMD has launched its FSR 4.1 upscaling technology for Radeon RX 7000 series (RDNA 3) GPUs.
Computing and Graphics Group Senior Vice President and GM Jack Huynh made the announcement on X (formerly Twitter). This development brings machine learning powered gaming to millions of players across more than 300 games.
By downloading the latest AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver, users can unlock the new AI upscaling suite on existing RX 7000 series desktop graphics cards.
(The driver can be downloaded here.)
The update drastically sharpens image reconstruction, delivers far superior temporal stability, and keeps motion ghosting to an absolute minimum. That’s across a massive library of supported titles.
Beyond optimized frame rates out of the gate for those two blockbusters, the release packs vital architecture stability improvements and bug fixes for the broader Radeon ecosystem.
Huynh added that AMD is actively engineering lightweight machine learning models to expand FSR 4.1 optimizations to a wider base of gamers. More details are to come.
Moreover, the driver for the FSR 4.1 upscaling technology will deliver day-one support for two highly anticipated releases: Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations.
if you are wielding an RDNA 3 desktop rig or an RDNA 3-powered handheld, like the ROG Ally X or Lenovo Legion GO, simply open up the AMD Software suite, get the update, and test the new AI tech.
