Monument Valley 3, the latest installment in ustwo's acclaimed series of narrative puzzle games, is set to allocate 3% of its profits over the next three years to charitable causes. This initiative will benefit the IFRC (International Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies) and their Disaster Response Emergency Fund, demonstrating ustwo's commitment to making a positive impact.
This move aligns with ustwo's status as the first B-corp game studio, a designation for businesses that prioritize exceptional social and environmental performance. Given Monument Valley 3's extensive reach on Netflix Games, this charitable effort could have a substantial impact. It's also in line with ustwo's history of integrating social and environmental themes into their games, as seen in titles like Alba: A Wildlife Adventure. Additionally, ustwo has previously collaborated with various UK-based youth charities during the launch of Desta: The Memories Between.
A Little Bit on the SideMonument Valley 3 has garnered widespread acclaim, including a five-star review from us. While the game's availability on Netflix Games, which does not charge fees or offer in-app purchases, may limit the direct financial impact of the charitable donation, it underscores ustwo's dedication to supporting vital causes. The company is also actively soliciting donations for the IFRC and other organizations, further amplifying their support for these groups in need.
