Epic Games and Microsoft have ended their campaign to support relief efforts in Ukraine with their “It’s a Game” campaign after raising $144 million, according to an engadged report.
Both companies donated the proceeds from the past two weeks’ game to humanitarian causes that support those affected by the war, and the money will go to Direct Relief, UNICEF, the United Nations World Food Program, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and World Central Kitchen.
The campaign aligns with the start of “It’s a Game” in the final season, which means that many players have been buying V-Bucks to unlock the latest Battle Pass and collect new in-game items.
Epic and Xbox also donated discounted battle gift cards, Fortnite Crew subscriptions and gift cards redeemed during that time to relief efforts as well.
