Get Almost 1,000 Games In Itch.io’s Bundle For Ukraine
More than 700 game developers have come together to raise money to support Ukrainians in need with a massive bundle of incredible games.
Sometimes the gaming community is incredible. This week, more than 700 developers have come together to raise money for charities supporting the besieged civilians in Ukraine. How are they raising money? With a massive games bundle available on popular indie games platform Itch.io.
The Itch.io Bundle for Ukraine is full of a variety of games, including video games available on PC, Mac, and Linux, as well as tabletop games, and even soundtrack and game assets. This incredible bundle is only available until March 18th.
Inside you’ll find a truly staggering variety of games. What do you like? I guarantee it’s there. Superhot, Sundered, Fallen Down, Baba is You. Do you want to throw your controller at the wall? Celeste can help you git gud while meditating on depression and loss and accessibility. Super Hexagon is here. Skatebird, the best named game of 2021 is in there.
And that’s just the video game sides of things. The bundle is also home to some phenomenal tabletop RPGs. Titles like: Thirsty Sword Lesbians! Troika! Numinous Edition, Visigoths vs. Mall Goths, and dragon romance favorite Dragonhearts are all in the book. There’s nearly a thousand titles.
If you want an impressive backlog, this is one you can boast about for days. And all with a minimum donation of $10. Though the host for the bundle, Necrosoft Games, encourages gamers to donate what they can. All proceeds go to the International Medical Corps and Voices of Children. Both organizations support Ukrainians in need right now.
Itch.io Bundle for Ukraine
The people of Ukraine are under attack. As game developers we want to create new worlds, not to destroy the one we have. That’s why we’ve banded together to present this charity bundle to help Ukrainians survive this ordeal and thrive after the war ends. This cause has resonated with creators around the globe, to the extent that our bundle contains almost 1,000 games, tabletop RPGs, books, etc.
Over 700 creators have joined in support to donate their work. All proceeds from this bundle will be split between the following charities:
- International Medical Corps provides medical assistance in the region. They have very low fundraising overhead (1% of income), with 89% of donations going to medical aid and 10% to administration.
- Voices of Children, a Ukrainian organization that helps children cope with the horrors of war, PTSD, readjusting to school, and getting back to being kids. They have also been doing a lot of grassroots impromptu work during the war, such as helping set up shelters. Our hope is that this war will be over soon, and they can begin the work of healing these kids’ hearts.
Of these nearly 1,000 products, more than 600 have never been in a major bundle before. Several prominent developers and publishers signed up to itch.io specifically to be in this bundle. And there’s something for everyone – we have almost 600 digital video games, over 300 analog tabletop RPGs, and dozens of asset packs, books, zines, and comics, soundtracks/music, and a host of other products. Also unique to this bundle, we only allowed paid products.
We kept the minimum low, but we highly urge you to pay above the minimum if you can afford to do so. All proceeds will be split between the charities 50/50.
We stand with Ukrainians, and with all people around the world who despise war.
Thank you.
