Whether it’s banning various services and products from Putin’s country, or fundraising, all the help is precious at a time when the Russian president doesn’t seem to be giving in to anything.
We recently reported that Epic Games and Microsoft will use Fortnite revenue to help the Ukrainian people. The latest news indicates that the title has already succeeded in raising $36 million for this humanitarian act of solidarity.

In addition to Epic Games, Microsoft has also joined the initiative, by donating the net revenue received from sales of Fortnite on the Xbox Microsoft Store, also during these two weeks.
