Epic Games has declared that it will be donating all the profits from Fortnite to humanitarian relief organisations working for Ukraine. Epic Games revealed the names of the humanitarian relief organisations in a blog post that it will be supporting, which are Direct Relief, United Nations Children’s Fund, United Nations World Food Programme and The UN Refugee Agency.
Epic also said it is working with its payment partners to send funds to the organisations. According to the blog, “All real-money Fortnite purchases made between March 20, 2022, and April 3, 2022, will be donated. This includes V-Buck packs, Fortnite Crew, gifted Battle Passes, and cosmetic packs such as the Voidlander Pack sold for real money. Retail store purchases of in-game cosmetics and V-Bucks cards will also be included if they are redeemed during this period.”

Using V-Bucks will not be counted as they are not actual money purchases. The blog also said that 100 per cent of the earnings, “equal to the gross acquisition price of all Fortnite in-game purchases or retail purchase redemptions will be donated.”
