Epic Games announced that from March 20 to April 3, it will donate all Fortnite sales to humanitarian organizations operating in Ukraine. Microsoft will also join the effort by donating net proceeds from Fortnite content sold in the Microsoft Store on Xbox.
Epic and Microsoft will send real money microtransactions in Fortnite this two weeks directly to humanitarian organizations helping the people of Ukraine. Organizations will provide emergency assistance "including health care, food and clean water, essential supplies, legal aid and shelter." While the website only lists four organizations at the time of writing, Epic said it will add more to the list over the course of the campaign.
Moreover, Epic “does not expect real funds to come from their platform and payment partners,” according to the blog post. Instead, when transactions are reported, the company will send them to organizations immediately.
Support the Creator codes will not be affected by the policy and Epic will fund these payments. However, if creators wish to donate their earnings, Epic suggests partnering with a specific organization of their choice.
