Humble Bundle Launches 'Stand With Ukraine Bundle' Offering Over 120 Games, Books And Software For $40

by Rainier on March 18, 2022 @ 11:37 a.m. PDT

Humble has joined forces with game creators, book publishers, and software makers from around the globe to launch the Stand With Ukraine bundle that will give 100% of its proceeds to support the humanitarian efforts in Ukraine through charity partners.

The terrible violence in Ukraine is taking a tragic toll on everyone who calls it home—displacing people and devastating families, and creating an urgent need for food, water, medical supplies, shelter, and safety.

To help out however they can, Humble Bundle have joined forces with game creators, book publishers, and software makers from around the globe to put together a Stand With Ukraine bundle 100% dedicated to humanitarian relief efforts for the people of Ukraine. 

When you purchase the Stand With Ukraine bundle, you’ll get more than $2, 500 worth of games, books, and software (more than 120 items total), and 100% of the proceeds will go to Razom for Ukraine, International Rescue Committee, International Medical Corps, and Direct Relief.

The games include the recent co-op hit Back 4 Blood, the acclaimed Metro Exodus (developed by 4A Games, who have a studio in Kyiv), Satisfactory, Fable Anniversary, Spyro Reignited Trilogy, The Long Dark, and more. You’ll also get books like Pathfinder 2nd Edition Core Rulebook, Starfinder Core Rulebook, and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2nd Edition Core Rulebook. The bundle also features software including GameMaker Studio 2 Creator (12 months), RPG Maker VX, Polygon game dev assets, Unity to Music Maker EDM Edition, and more.

When you pick up this Stand With Ukraine bundle for at least $40 USD (as with all our bundles, you can pay more if you wish), 100% of the proceeds will be donated to these charities:

  • Razom for Ukraine, which means “together for Ukraine,” is providing critical medical supplies to Ukraine and amplifying voices of Ukrainians abroad. Their current emergency response is focused on purchasing tactical medicine items and supplies for Ukrainian hospitals, supplies for critical situations like blood loss, and other tactical medicine items. They have a large team of volunteers that tracks down and purchases supplies, and a logistics team that then gets them to Ukraine. They’re coordinating with several partner organizations worldwide and are also working with governments and embassies on establishing humanitarian corridors.
  • The International Rescue Committee (IRC) helps people affected by humanitarian crises to survive, recover, and rebuild their lives. The IRC delivers lasting impact by providing health care, helping children learn, and empowering individuals to become self-reliant, always seeking to address the inequalities facing women and girls.

The IRC is on the ground in Poland, working closely with partners to reach vulnerable people and families fleeing Ukraine with essential health and protection assistance, essential items such as blankets, sleeping bags, warm clothes, groceries, and cash where possible. Through partners, the IRC is providing information services through an existing hotline, offering legal counseling and psychological support, and how to access services for displaced people.

  • International Medical Corps provides lifesaving healthcare and supplies to children, families, and communities that have lost everything due to conflict, disaster, and disease in countries worldwide.

They have a team on the ground inside Ukraine, urgently expanding its relief efforts in response to the devastating war. They are focusing on emergency and primary health services, as well as mental health and psychosocial support services and protection and gender-based violence services, which are critical for conflict-affected communities. Regionally, International Medical Corps’ teams in Poland, Romania, and Moldova are coordinating with local partners to address evolving needs as the number of Ukrainians fleeing the conflict continues to rise.

  • Direct Relief improves the health and lives of people affected by poverty or emergency situations by mobilizing and providing essential medical resources needed for their care.

Direct Relief is currently supporting the Ukrainian Ministry of Health and local hospitals and healthcare facilities throughout Ukraine with emergency medical backpacks, medications for chronic conditions, oxygen concentrators, and other resources, and also supporting the health needs of refugees in the surrounding countries.

The Stand With Ukraine bundle launched on March 18, 2022 at 11 a.m. PDT and lasts through March 25, 2022.

Support humanitarian efforts for the people of Ukraine.
