Partnership between gaming giants means Unity developers will be able to bring their games to Fortnite, while Unity’s enhanced commerce platform will come to Unreal Engine.
Unity and Epic Games have teamed to allow developers to publish Unity games into Fortnite and participate in the Fortnite Creator Economy.
Unity will also bring Unreal Engine support to their cross-platform commerce platform. Developers will be able to manage pricing, promotions, and live operations with Unreal Engine, coming early next year.
“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.”
“Just like the early days of the web, we believe that companies need to work together in order to build the open metaverse in a way that’s interoperable and fair,” said Tim Sweeney, Founder and CEO of Epic Games. “Working alongside Unity we’re helping developers build fun games, reach bigger audiences, and find success.”
Additional details about this partnership and product timing will be shared next year.
