Fortnite Season 2 Raised $144 Million For Ukraine Relief
Epic Games and Microsoft raised more than $144 million for humanitarian relief efforts supporting Ukraine, the developer has announced. As confirmed previously, Epic Games donated all proceeds from Fortnite to charity between March 20 and April 3 to support the country after it was invaded by Russia.
Connected to this, Xbox donated its own net proceeds from Fortnite during the period to support charitable efforts for the people of Ukraine. Xbox is understood to receive a platform fee at about 30%, and given the size and stature of Fortnite, this percentage is likely a major chunk of change. The campaign has now wrapped up, with $144 million raised over the period of two weeks.
