Epic Games It had previously announced that it plans to donate 100% of the proceeds from Fortnite between now and April 3 to humanitarian aid in Ukraine. During this period, players’ spending on V-Buck and other virtual goods (including gift cards redeemed within two weeks) will be donated to organizations such as Direct Relief, UNICEF, Food Programme and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to provide Ukrainian people with accommodation, first aid various forms of assistance.
The program is also supported by Epic partner Microsoft, which will also donate all Fortress Heroes purchases completed through the Microsoft Store before April 3. It is worth mentioning that in order to allow the Ukrainian people to get the much-needed assistance as soon as possible, Epic said that it will send donations according to the transaction records as soon as possible, rather than wait for the platform and payment service providers to complete all transfers before taking action.
Great to see gaming community come together. In addition to joining with @FortniteGame and our Microsoft Rewards for UNICEF, our employee donations and matching contributions are focused on providing aid to Ukrainian families. https://t.co/a0sAYud9FQ
