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 commitment 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's dedication to social and environmental causes is evident in previous releases like Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, which also highlighted these themes. The studio previously partnered with UK-based 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 contribution 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 subscription fees.
However, this implies that ustwo will directly fund the donation, a commendable act. This corporate generosity, coupled with the company's public support for the IFRC and other organizations, will undoubtedly provide crucial assistance to these vital groups.
