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 initiative will support the IFRC (International Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies) and its Disaster Response Emergency Fund.
This commitment aligns with ustwo's status as a B-corp game studio, signifying a dedication to social and environmental responsibility. Given Monument Valley 3's wide reach on Netflix Games, this charitable contribution could be substantial.
Ustwo has a history of incorporating social and environmental themes into its 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's positive reception, including a five-star review from this publication, is noteworthy. The long-term impact of this 3% donation 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, combined with the company's public support for the IFRC and other organizations, will undoubtedly benefit these vital groups.
