Overwolf has launched a $50 million fund to jumpstart community-created mod experiences for games. The first recipient of the fund is Stray Bombay, the maker of the upcoming co-op shooter The Anacrusis.

The fund comes from a substantial portion of the $52.5 million that the company raised in March. Overwolf makes a modding platform for game developers and publishers. It enables those companies to take advantage of user-created content based on popular games.
