Epic Games has raised $144M for Ukrainian relief

Epic Games announced today that, with help from Xbox and the Fortnite community, it has raised over $144 million to help those in Ukraine affected by the recent Russian invasion. The company raised the money on behalf of various humanitarian relief organizations.

The Fortnite publisher announced last month that it would be donating all proceeds raised through its signature game from March 20 through April 3. All real money purchases made in the game — subscriptions, cosmetic packs, battle passes, etc — would go towards this goal. Microsoft also added net proceeds made from Fortnite sales on the Microsoft Store during the same window.
