Epic Games’ Fortnite Ukraine Charity Campaign Has Raised Over $100M
Epic Games, in partnership with Microsoft and the Fortnite community, has raised over $100 million which will go towards humanitarian relief efforts in war-torn Ukraine. The funds were raised from all the proceeds from the PC, Xbox, and mobile versions of the popular battle royale shooter since March 20th.
“Epic is committing all its Fortnite proceeds from March 20, 2022 through April 3, 2022 to humanitarian relief for people affected by the war in Ukraine. Xbox is joining us in this effort and is committing their net proceeds for Fortnite during this time, so that we can get more aid to the people of Ukraine,” read the original announcements.
There’s just three days left in the campaign so if you want to help out you can buy V-Bucks Packs, subscriptions, gift Battle Passes, Fortnite Crew, and cosmetic packs to join the effort.
Epic says that they’ll be sending the funds as quickly as they can which will be split between various humanitarian relief organizations operating in the region, including UNICEF, Direct Relief, the UN World Food Programme, World Central Kitchen, and the UN Refugee Agency.
Meanwhile, Fornite players now have access to a new purely skill-based no-build game mode called Zero Build. You can learn more about that here.
