Money from in-game purchases of “Fortnite” will be donated to Ukraine

Gamers have been more than generous in their support to the Ukrainian people. Epic Games, the developing studio of “Fortnite”, stated that it collected $36 million in less than 24 hours for relief organisations.

A couple of days ago, Epic Games announced a project to raise money for Ukrainian people affected by the Russian invasion of their country. As such, all proceeds from in-game purchases would go to several relief funds including UNICEF and UN Refugee Agency. This initiative was launched with the latest season of “Fortnite” called “Resistance” and it immediately mobilised players.

Following the impressive generosity of the gaming community, Epic Games said that it will ensure that the funds are transferred as quickly as possible. Microsoft also pledged to donate all net proceeds from purchases of “Fortnite” to Ukraine.
