Monument Valley 3, the latest installment in ustwo's acclaimed puzzle game series, will donate 3% of its profits to charity over the next three years. 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, signifying a commitment to social and environmental responsibility. Given Monument Valley 3's wide reach on Netflix Games, this donation could have a significant impact.
Ustwo has a history of incorporating social and environmental themes into their games, as seen in titles like 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's positive reception, including a five-star review from this publication, makes this charitable initiative even more noteworthy. The long-term impact remains to be seen, especially considering its availability on Netflix Games, a platform without in-app purchases or fees.
However, this implies ustwo is directly funding the donation, a commendable act of corporate social responsibility. This support, coupled with the company's public appeal for donations to the IFRC and other organizations, will undoubtedly benefit those in need.
