Ustwo, the creators of the acclaimed puzzle game Monument Valley 3, have announced a significant philanthropic initiative. For the next three years, 3% of the game's profits will be donated to the International Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) Disaster Response Emergency Fund.

This commitment aligns with ustwo's B-Corp status, signifying their dedication to social and environmental responsibility. Given Monument Valley 3's wide availability on Netflix Games, this donation could have a substantial impact.

Ustwo has a history of incorporating social and environmental themes into their games, as seen in titles like Alba: A Wildlife Adventure. They also previously collaborated with UK youth charities for the launch of Desta: The Memories Between.

The Significance of the Donation

Monument Valley 3's success, including a five-star review from this publication, makes this charitable contribution even more noteworthy. The game's presence on Netflix Games, a platform without in-app purchases or fees, raises questions about the source of the donated funds. It's likely that ustwo will directly contribute the 3% from their own revenue, a commendable act of corporate social responsibility. This support, coupled with ustwo's public endorsement, will undoubtedly benefit the IFRC and other organizations.
