Korean game development company Krafton, the father of PUBG, recently organized a donation of $ 202,000 for COVID-19 relief in India.
This donation comes as India battles a deadly second wave of coronavirus cases. Last week, the South Asian country recorded 379,257 new cases and 3,645 deaths, the most of any country around the world, according to data from the Government of India.
Krafton has donated this amount to the Prime Minister’s Fund for Citizenship and Emergency Relief (PM Cares) through its Indian subsidiary. This fund is being used for pandemic relief efforts and to support domestic immunization.
“India is navigating a challenging time with the current wave of COVID-19,” said Changhan Kim, CEO of Krafton. “We remain committed to supporting the efforts of the government in battling this unprecedented crisis. We hope our contribution to the PM CARES Fund will help the aid efforts currently operational on the ground.”
Krafton is the owner of PUBG Studio, the developer of Player’s Unknown Battlegrounds (PUBG) game. The studio has also worked with Tencent to develop a mobile version of the game called PUBG Mobile. However, this mobile game was banned in India last year because of concerns about data privacy. The Korean company said it is still trying to bring its game back to the Indian market in the near future.
