Monument Valley 3 Donates Profits to Charity for Three Years

Monument Valley 3, the latest installment in ustwo's acclaimed series of narrative puzzle games, has announced a heartwarming initiative: it will allocate 3% of its profits over the next three years to charitable causes. Specifically, these funds will be directed to the IFRC (International Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies) and their Disaster Response Emergency Fund, showcasing ustwo's commitment to social responsibility.

This move isn't entirely unexpected, given ustwo's status as the first B-corp game studio. B-corp certification is awarded to companies that demonstrate exceptional social and environmental performance, embodying the ethos of "business for good." With Monument Valley 3 available on Netflix Games, which boasts a vast audience, this initiative could have a significant impact.

Ustwo has a history of integrating social and environmental themes into their games. For instance, their title Alba: A Wildlife Adventure also emphasizes these values. Additionally, when launching Desta: The Memories Between, ustwo partnered with several UK-based youth charities, further demonstrating their dedication to making a positive difference.

A Little Bit on the Side
Monument Valley 3 has been met with overwhelming praise, including a five-star review from us. However, the question arises about the long-term impact of this charitable move, especially since the game is available on Netflix Games, which does not charge fees or feature in-app purchases. This means the donation will come directly from ustwo, a commendable act of corporate generosity. Moreover, ustwo's efforts to solicit donations for the IFRC and other organizations will undoubtedly provide much-needed support to these groups.
