54 games for $40 bundled for COVID-19 relief from Square Enix

The folks at Square Enix just put a whole bunch of games in a big bundle to sell to gamers staying at home – all to fight COVID-19. This might be the start of a big push on the part of game-makers across the spectrum. If the Square Enix Stay Home & Play campaign "rewards gamers for practicing social distancing and also help charities that need support," and it works, the future's going to look a whole lot more bright than it looks today.

The official release from Square Enix suggests "as part of the initiative, we're releasing Steam bundles featuring many of our greatest games at bargain prices." The entirety of the revenue (on the Square Enix side of this equation) from these "bundles" (notice, plural, meaning there may be more bundles in the future), will go toward "charities across North America and Europe, including food banks and more."

The bundle released for this Mother's Day Weekend includes 54 games in all, and the final price is approximately 95% lower than it'd normally be. The bundle will cost gamers approximately $39.24, just under $40, for 54 games. And they're not just "meh" games, they're award-winning games, some of the biggest games of the past decade.
