Monument Valley 3: Profits to Aid Charity

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 initiative will support the IFRC (International Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies) and its Disaster Response Emergency Fund.

This philanthropic effort aligns with ustwo's status as a B-Corp game studio, a designation recognizing companies with exceptional social and environmental performance. The game's wide reach on Netflix Games potentially amplifies the impact of this donation.

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, makes this charitable initiative even more noteworthy. The long-term impact remains to be seen, considering its availability on Netflix Games, a platform without in-app purchases or fees. However, this implies that the donation comes directly from ustwo's own resources, a commendable act of corporate social responsibility. This support, coupled with ustwo's public endorsement, is sure to benefit the IFRC and other organizations significantly.
