Hellblade Senua’s Sacrifice Xbox One sales will fuel a donation to mental health charity

Update: Ninja Theory took to Twitter to confirm that 50,000 sales were reached, and therefore, it has donated $25,000 USD to Mental Health America.

“We’ve hit our target of selling 50K units of Hellblade on Xbox One in Week 1,” the tweet reads.

If 100,000 total sales are reached, Ninja Theory will donate a further $25,000 USD to the charity.

We’ve hit our target of selling 50K units of #Hellblade on #XboxOne in Week 1!

We can now donate $25K to Mental Health America @MentalHealthAm !
