Unity and Epic Games Together Advance the Open, Interoperable Future for Video Gaming

Unity and Epic Games announced they are working together to bring Unity games into Fortnite, creating more opportunity and value for players and developers. Developers will have the ability to publish Unity games into Fortnite, one of the world’s largest gaming ecosystems with more than 500 million registered accounts worldwide, and participate in the Fortnite Creator Economy.

“We’re excited to partner with Epic Games to create more opportunities for game developers around the world,” said Matt Bromberg, President and CEO, Unity. “Choice and open systems create growth for everyone in the gaming ecosystem.”

Also announced at Unite, Unity’s Annual Developer Conference, Unity will be bringing Unreal Engine support to their cross-platform commerce platform. This will give Unreal developers more choice for managing everything from their digital catalogs and payment providers to web shops across PC, mobile, and web. Developers will be able to manage pricing, promotions, and live operations with Unreal Engine, coming early next year.
