Highlights:

• Players had a helpful or unhelpful video game teammate or minimal in-group member.

• Players engaged in a simultaneous or sequential PDG with teammate and opposing team.

• Helpful teammates confirmed reciprocity expectations and increased pro-socialness.

• Unhelpful teammates had the opposite effect on pro-socialness between teammates.

• Playing with a helpful teammate increased pro-socialness toward out-group members.
