On 1 November 2017, the World of Warships team organized a fundraiser to support the USS Texas Museum that was in severe financial need after the floods caused by [[Hurricane Harvey]]. Special bundles with USS Texas battleship were offered to players on NA, EU and SEA servers, and all of the proceeds from this sale were donated to Battleship Texas Foundation. On top of this, USS Texas battleship was offered as a free referral prize for the newcomers invited by veteran players. World of Warships donated $25 to Battleship Texas Foundation for each qualifying referral during this charitable campaign on top of the proceeds from bundle sales. As of 1 December 2019, over $280,000 was raised by World of Warships community for the battleship preservation efforts.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://battleshiptexas.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/DREADNOUGHT-Spring-2018.pdf|title=Newsletter of the Battleship Texas Foundation, Spring 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.prweb.com/releases/2018/02/prweb15214141.htm|title=Battleship Texas Foundation Announces Partnership with Wargaming to Raise Funds for Battleship TEXAS|website=PRWeb|access-date=2020-04-06}}</ref>
