Monument Valley 3, the latest installment in ustwo's acclaimed puzzle game series, will donate 3% of its profits over the next three years to charity. This contribution will support the IFRC (International Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies) and their Disaster Response Emergency Fund.
This philanthropic initiative aligns with ustwo's status as a B-corp game studio, a designation recognizing companies with exceptional social and environmental performance. Given Monument Valley 3's wide reach on Netflix Games, this donation could be substantial.
Ustwo has a history of incorporating social and environmental themes into their games, as seen in Alba: A Wildlife Adventure. They also previously collaborated with UK youth charities for the launch of Desta: The Memories Between.
A Charitable Contribution
Monument Valley 3 has received widespread critical acclaim, including a five-star review from this publication. The long-term impact of this 3% donation is intriguing, especially considering its availability on Netflix Games, a platform without in-app purchases or subscription fees.
This suggests the donation will come directly from ustwo's own resources, a commendable act of corporate social responsibility. The company's public support for the IFRC and other organizations will undoubtedly provide crucial assistance to these vital groups.
