Epic Games says it has raised more than US $50 million to aid humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.

The Fortnite publisher announced it would donate all proceeds from in-game sales, including cosmetic in-game items and virtual currency bought in a shop or online, until 3rd April.

And Xbox is donating the fee it would usually take on items bought by players in Fortnite.

The amount raised so far is greater than that given by some countries.

A statement on the Fortnite website said it would send funds as quickly as they can.
