Fifteen days have already passed since the launch of the new Fortnite season, and it's time to know the final amount that Fortnite will allocate to humanitarian associations in Ukraine. Epic Games had indeed announced that ALL the revenue generated by the game during this period of time would be directly donated to various humanitarian associations on site. The publisher today released that amount, which is $144 million .
An extraordinary launch
From the revelation of its donation project in favor of the Ukrainian populations, Epic Games knew that the amount would represent several tens of millions of dollars. Even if Fortnite is no longer very young today, each season launch represents a highlight for the game, with each time a surge in popularity, and thousands of Battle Passes purchased.
On the other hand, what the publisher had certainly not anticipated was the big bang that the "zero construction" mode would cause. Initially designed as a temporary game mode that was to be shelved after nine days of the season, Fortnite Zero Construction generated incredible hype, and feedback from countless players on the title. By somehow causing the rebirth of Fortnite, the no-build game mode has earned the right to become a permanent game mode. And he will undoubtedly have greatly contributed to the "colossal" side of this gift. 144 million dollars in revenue in 15 days is an extraordinary amount, even for a titan like Fortnite.
A record donation in the video game world
144 million dollars donated to humanitarian aid in Ukraine, it is an amount that we imagine coming from a member state of the G20 rather than from a video game publisher. But Epic Games is a studio that shakes up norms and hierarchies. The major players in the video game world have for the most part made donations in various forms in favor of Ukraine or humanitarian associations on the spot. But never in such proportions.
