Monument Valley 3, the latest installment in ustwo's acclaimed puzzle series, will donate 3% of its profits over the next three years to charity. This contribution will support the IFRC (International Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies) and their Disaster Response Emergency Fund.
This philanthropic initiative aligns with ustwo's status as a B-corp game studio, a designation recognizing companies with exceptional social and environmental performance. Given Monument Valley 3's wide reach on Netflix Games, this donation could be substantial.
Ustwo's commitment to social and environmental causes is evident in previous projects like Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, which also focused on these themes. They also partnered 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 pledge even more noteworthy. The long-term impact remains to be seen, especially considering its availability on Netflix Games, a platform without in-app purchases or fees.
However, this suggests the donation will come directly from ustwo's own resources, a commendable act of corporate social responsibility. This support, along with the company's public solicitation of donations for the IFRC and other organizations, will undoubtedly benefit these vital groups.
