The owner behind one of the world’s biggest video games has raised a whopping 50 million dollars for Ukraine
Epic Games says it has raised well over 50 million dollars to aid humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.
The Fortnite publisher announced a few days ago it would donate all proceeds from in-game sales, including cosmetic in-game items and virtual currency bought in a shop or online.
X-box is donating the fee it would usually take on items bought by players in Fortnite.
The amount raised so far is greater than what has been raised by some countries. around the world.
A statement on the Fortnite website said it would send funds “as quickly as we can”
“We’re not waiting for the actual funds to come in from our platform and payment partners.”
Fortnite is logging them and sending the funds to the humanitarian relief organisations within days.
The initiative is set to finish next month on April 3.
