The Pro vs. GI Joe program is the marquee program of Joint Forces Initiative, designed to give access to pro athletes in video game contests against deployed U.S. Military.

Splitgate: Arena Warfare, formerly known as Wormhole Wars, is an upcoming FPS with a twist. Often referred to as Halo meets Portal, the game pairs fast paced FPS action with the mind-breaking possibilities of portals to create explosive gameplay.
