Epic Games announced All proceeds from the hugely popular battle royale shooter game Fortnite from March 20 to April 3 will be donated to Direct Relief, the United Nations Children’s Fund, the United Nations World Food Program and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in order to support Ukraine.
Epic says that proceeds from all real money purchases, including V-Buck packs, Fortnite Crew packs, gifted battle cards, and premium cosmetic packs, will go to the aforementioned organizations. Xbox is also partnering with Epic to donate all proceeds from Fortnite-related content in the Microsoft Store to Ukraine as well.
