PUBG Corp. announces where its $2 million in charity money is going

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds enabled its players to support charity by purchasing keys to unlock crates during its prerelease Early Access phase on Steam last year, and now developer PUBG Corp. is revealing how it’s going to distribute that money. The studio announced today that it is spreading out $2 million from the Gamescom Invitational Crates to the Extra Life Charity Marathon, Gamers Outreach, and a new charity campaign that is going to happen later this year.

PUBG Corp. had previously donated $100,000 to Twitch’s Winter Charity Invitational for the last-player-standing shooter in December. Later this month, $300,000 will go to the PUBG Extra Life Marathon that supports the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. In April, PUBG will use some of the $2 million to match donations as part of a Gamers Outreach LAN event in partnership with Gamers for Giving. Gamers Outreach provides entertainment to children dealing with illnesses. Finally, PUBG Corp. is holding onto another $1 million with plans to donate it as part of the aforementioned, unannounced 2018 charity event.
