Jingle Jam 2026 adds Chained Together and Len's Island

Jingle Jam 2026 has revealed the first two games in its collection. Jingle Jam's November 14 press release confirms Chained Together and Len's Island for this year's bundle, with the charity event starting on December 1.

Jingle Jam is a two-week fundraiser that brings games, creators and communities together. The bundle works a bit like Humble Choice November 2026, except the money goes to charity. The event has run since 2011.

What is in the Jingle Jam 2026 collection?

The first game is Chained Together, Secret Mode's viral co-op climber where players are literally chained to each other. From December 1, players can also unlock a Jingle Jam Winter Warmer skin in the game.

The second is Len's Island, Fireshine Games' open-world survival crafting game, where you build a home, explore and head into dungeons. According to the release, both games will also get dedicated fundraising events in the second week of Jingle Jam, with gameplay streams and creator challenges.

What do the two games cost on Steam?

Chained Together's Steam page describes a 1-4 player platformer where you climb up from the depths of Hell, solo or with friends. It launched in June 2024 and costs $4.99 in the US. Len's Island supports 1-8 players and mixes dungeon crawling and ARPG combat with farming and building. Its 1.0 release arrived in June 2025 at $24.99. Together, the two games are worth about $30 on their own.

How do you get the Jingle Jam 2026 games?

The collection goes live on December 1 at 5PM GMT (6PM CET). On Jingle Jam's official Tiltify page, anyone who donates £35 or more to a registered fundraiser's campaign gets keys for the bundle. More than 500 creators have already signed up, including DanTDM, Tubbo, Smosh, Jack Manifold, The Spiffing Brit and RTGame, alongside founders The Yogscast.

Past collections have included Core Keeper, Tactical Breach Wizards, Old World, Two Point Campus, Citizen Sleeper and Frostpunk, so expectations for the rest of the lineup are high. If you want something free in the meantime, note the week Alien: Isolation goes free on Epic.

What does it mean for players?

Jingle Jam raised £3.5 million in 2025, pushing its lifetime total past £31 million. This year's money goes to eight causes: CALM, War Child UK, Become, Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity, Make-A-Wish, SpecialEffect, The Trevor Project and WWF UK. SpecialEffect, for example, helps physically disabled players game with custom controller setups.

For players, the appeal is simple. £35 for a bundle of more than 15 games is a very low price per game, and the money goes straight to charity. If you track deals, offers like Knightica's free run on Epic are also live this month. The full collection lands on December 1.
