Bethesda donates US $ 1 million to fight against coronavirus

Bethesda Softworks (Bethesda Softworks) donated a total of 1 million US dollars to charity organizations to help coronavirus mitigation.

The game publisher announced that it will donate $ 500,000 to Direct Relief, a charity that provides protective equipment for first-line medical workers. It will also donate $ 250,000 to UNICEF to help children around the world. The final $ 250,000 will be used to mitigate the coronavirus in the area around its North American and international studios. These charities are selected by each office.

At the same time, as part of # BethesdaAtHome's work, Bethesda employees will stream games at home via Twitch. Those viewers will have the opportunity to donate to the charity mentioned earlier during the event.

Despite the work-at-home measures, Bethesda is still able to release Fallout 76's free Wastelanders extension on the expected release date earlier this month. This extension introduces NPC characters, dialogue trees and new factions into the original game.
