Monument Valley 3, the latest installment in ustwo's acclaimed series of narrative puzzlers, has announced a commendable initiative: dedicating 3% of its profits over the next three years to charitable causes. Specifically, these funds will support the IFRC (International Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies) and their Disaster Response Emergency Fund. This move aligns well with ustwo's status as the first B-corp game studio, a designation reserved for companies demonstrating high standards of social and environmental responsibility.
Given the widespread availability of Monument Valley 3 on Netflix Games, this initiative could have a significant impact. It's not ustwo's first foray into philanthropy; their previous titles, such as Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, have similarly emphasized social and environmental themes. Moreover, ustwo has a history of collaborating with various UK-based youth charities, as seen with the launch of Desta: The Memories Between.
The release of Monument Valley 3 has been met with widespread acclaim, including a five-star review from us. While the game is available on Netflix Games, which does not charge fees or offer in-app purchases, the charitable contributions will come directly from ustwo's profits. This approach underscores the company's commitment to making a positive impact, further bolstered by their efforts to solicit donations for the IFRC and other organizations in need.
