German online charity event Friendly Fire XI will be produced on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at the R42 Games Hub in Leipzig and broadcast live from there. This continues the cooperation that began with the anniversary stream in 2024. Last year’s event generated more than two million euros for charity.
"We are delighted to be back at R42 with Friendly Fire. We received a warm welcome in Leipzig last year, and the trust placed in us after we transformed an entire room into a mountain landscape with construction foam means a lot to us. It's even better to be able to let loose again in these wonderful premises and hopefully collect lots of donations and memorable moments," says Lena Laaser, project manager of Friendly Fire.
“Bringing Friendly Fire back to Leipzig means a lot to us,” emphasizes R42 project initiator Christopher Siebenhüner. “The gaming industry moves people and creates cohesion – Friendly Fire expresses this very strongly. We are looking forward to being part of it again.”
As in the previous year, the hosts of the charity livestream include YouTubers and streamers Gronkh, MrMoregame, Team PietSmiet, Pandorya, PhunkRoyal, Der Heider, and fisHC0p. The approximately twelve-hour stream will be broadcast on Gronkh's Twitch channel and will begin on December 6 at with the preshow at 2 p.m.. This year’s event is mainly sponsored by Ubisoft and will follow a design related to Anno 117: Pax Romana.
