Post Malone's Apex Legends Twitch stream for charity, which is done in partnership with multiple non-profit organizations, is set for this week if you want to check it out.
LOS ANGELES, CA - OCTOBER 09: Post Malone attends the 2018 American Music Awards at Microsoft Theater on October 9, 2018 in Los Angeles, California.
According to DotESports, the world-renowned musician's stream is going to be done for the benefit of four non-profits. Namely, these are as follows:
- Human Rights Watch: A group who conducts human rights research and advocacy.
- United Way: A group who does fundraisers for the victims of the Ukraine crisis.
- Project Hope: An organization who focuses on helping mitigate climate change.
- The Trevor Project: A group that offers support services to marginalized members of the LGBTQ community.
Anything you donate while watching Post Malone's Apex Legends stream, which is scheduled on July 18, 20, 22, and 24, is going straight to these organizations. But that's not where all the funds will be coming from, because Apex developer Respawn Entertainment is also pledging a total of $10,000 for each charity that Post donates the proceeds to.
To ensure that more people will tune in to the rapper's Apex stream on Twitch, Respawn has also announced it via their official social media accounts. Here is the Twitter announcement, with the stream's title: "Gaming For Love":
According to GameSpot, the four days will include four separate live streams from Post dedicated to each of the four beneficiaries. The first of them is already underway at the time of this writing starting at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET, and will benefit Human Rights Watch first. July 20th will be the turn of Project Hope; July 22nd is for United Way, and last but not least: The Trevor Project is slated for the last day, July 24th.
If Post Malone's Apex Legends stream for HRW is any indication of the fundraising potential of the series (over 10,000 concurrent viewers), then the charities are going to benefit greatly as the series of streams goes on.

Post Malone And Apex Legends
It's no secret by now that the famous rapper is a massive fan of Respawn's battle royale title. And this is even if he himself has admitted he wasn't really a fan of BR games at first. In an interview on the Full Send Podcast, he revealed that he wasn't really good in battle royales, but Apex just had something that made him enjoy it far more than any other game.
According to Dexerto, Post has expressed his love for playing Apex in his spare time multiple times. He's even mentioned that he always tries to "body everybody" whenever he plays, though he does still admit that he's not as good as the pros. He does, however, follow a few Apex Legends pros such as ImperialHal, and has teamed up with famous streamer Timmy "iiTzTimmy" An once back in February.
To cap things off, Post has also been dipping his toes into the eSports industry. In 2020, he became the co-owner of OpTic Gaming (back when it was previously known as Envy Gaming). Perhaps he's looking to experience the pro gaming industry more, who knows?
