Get $1000 Of Games & Ebooks For $30 To Help Coronavirus Responders

The newest Humble Bundle offers a special chance to donate to COVID-19 coronavirus relief efforts, and get more than $1,000 of games for Steam and digital books for only $30. Humble Bundles have long been a way to pick up discounted collections of best-seller games or snapping up a complete series, as well as producing new games themselves, but the Bundles can also focus on more topical events to generate money for specific situations.

The company has previously worked with nonprofits like WWF, American Red Cross, GamesAid, and Save the Children to sponsor a variety of sales to help raise donations for particular causes. Since November 2019, Humble Bundle has also allowed gamers to donate 10% of the net revenue of their purchases to a charity of their choice, complete with a dedicated Charity tab on their site. So far, the organization has raised around $166 million for charity purposes.

This particular bundle, called Conquer COVID-19, will be available via the Humble Bundle webpage for seven days, starting March 31st 2020. It offers $1,071 of games and ebooks all for only a $30 donation minimum. The more than 40 games, redeemable on Steam, include popular titles like Undertale, Hollow Knight, Superhot, Lego Batman 3, and much more. Long-running series like Darksiders and Sniper Elite have games on the list, and those who missed out on indie classics like Psychonauts or Brutal Legend will also be able to find them here. Then there’s a wide variety of digital novels buyers will also gain access to, including volume one of Locke & Key, volume one of The Boys, volume one of Spawn Origins, and many more enticing offerings.

A full 100% of the proceeds from this weeklong event will go to organizations helping respond to the coronavirus epidemic – one example Humble Bundle gives is help deliver more protective gear to healthcare workers currently caring for infected patients. Currently, more than 25,000 bundles have already been sold, and some reports say that people have been making donations as high as $10,000 to help relief efforts when purchasing the package.

The timing of the Conquer COVID-19 bundle is excellent for those sheltering in place at home, particularly Steam users looking for new titles to try out. The games include a surprising number of bit hits and top sellers too, making it an excellent deal for money spent as well as a way to dive into all sorts of video game franchises (as well as written ones). However, gamers will want to act within the next several days to add all these titles to their libraries before the deal is gone for good. Also keep in mind that Steam is currently tackling bandwidth shortage problems for consumers to make sure effective gaming is still possible.
