Unity and Epic Games: A New Era of Interoperable Gaming

In an exciting development for the gaming industry, Unity Technologies [NYSE: U] and Epic Games have announced a collaborative initiative aimed at enhancing the gaming ecosystem by allowing Unity-developed games to be integrated into the immensely popular game, Fortnite. This partnership is set to create new opportunities and added value for both players and developers, enabling them to engage with each other in unprecedented ways.

With over 500 million registered accounts, Fortnite represents one of the largest gaming ecosystems in the world, and developers using Unity will have the chance to publish their games to this vast audience. Not only does this provide a platform for developers to showcase their skills, but it also immerses players in a richer interactive experience. The collaboration marks a significant step forward in the push for an open and interoperable gaming future.

During the annual Unity developer conference, known as "Unite," the announcement was made, highlighting Unity’s commitment to fostering an inclusive and expansive gaming community. Additionally, Unity also introduced plans to support Unreal Engine within its cross-platform commerce platform. This move will provide developers using Unreal Engine with more options for managing digital catalogs and payment providers, enhancing the scope for commerce across PC, mobile, and web platforms. This functionality will include management tools for pricing, promotions, and live operations, set for rollout in early next year.

Matt Bromberg, President and CEO of Unity, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, "We are thrilled to collaborate with Epic Games to create more opportunities for game developers worldwide. The choice and open systems will foster growth across the entire gaming ecosystem." This sentiment was echoed by Epic Games Founder and CEO Tim Sweeney, who mentioned, "Just like in the early days of the web, companies must collaborate to build an open metaverse that embodies interoperability and fairness. Together with Unity, we support developers in creating enjoyable games for larger audiences, facilitating their success."

Further details regarding this partnership and the upcoming product offerings will be announced next year, keeping the gaming community engaged and eager for what’s to come.

The Unite conference is an event that brings together over 1,500 developers for technical sessions, networking opportunities, and hands-on learning experiences. The keynote address from the event was live-streamed at 10 a.m. Central European Time and will be available later on Unity's official YouTube channel.
