March 19, 2022: The Itch.io Ukraine bundle has now concluded, raising over $6 million.
The Itch.io Ukraine games bundle was a stellar deal, as for the cost of just $10 people could get their hands on nearly a thousand indie games – including names such as Wandersong, and Skatebird – with the money entirely going to charities working in Ukraine.
As companies such as John Romero's new Doom 2 level has raised over €25K in relief funds.
Earlier this month, Itch.io began its Bundle for Ukraine, containing around 889 games and 102 digital game-related items. They could all be unlocked for a minimum $10 contribution, all of which is split between two charities working in Ukraine – the International Medical Corps and Voices of Children.
Apart from the games mentioned at the start, the bundle also included the likes of Moon Hunters, Minit, 2064: Read Only Memories, Jotun, Cook Serve Delicious 2, Towerfall Ascension, and the most stressful horror game of all time. The bundle concluded yesterday, raising over $6.3 million for relief efforts in Ukraine, a wonderful result.
