Monument Valley 3, the latest installment in ustwo's renowned series of narrative puzzlers, has announced a commendable initiative: it will allocate 3% of its profits to charity over the next three years. This charitable contribution will be directed towards the IFRC (International Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies) and specifically their Disaster Response Emergency Fund.
This move aligns perfectly with ustwo's ethos as the first B-corp game studio—a designation that signifies exceptional social and environmental performance. Given the widespread availability of Monument Valley 3 on Netflix Games, this decision could have a substantial impact. It's a natural extension of ustwo's commitment to social responsibility, as seen in previous releases like Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, which emphasized environmental and social themes. Furthermore, ustwo has a history of collaborating with various UK-based youth charities during the launch of Desta: The Memories Between.
A Little Bit on the Side
Monument Valley 3 has been met with widespread acclaim, including a glowing five-star review from us. While the game's presence on Netflix Games, which is free from fees and in-app purchases, raises questions about the source of the charitable funds, it's clear that ustwo is stepping up directly to support this cause. Their dedication to soliciting donations for the IFRC and other organizations is poised to provide crucial support where it's most needed.
