Unity and Epic Games have announced a partnership to enable Unity-based games to be played within Fortnite. This move aims to create new opportunities and added value for both players and developers. Developers will be able to publish their Unity games into Fortnite, which is one of the world’s largest gaming platforms with over 500 million registered accounts globally. This integration also allows developers to participate in the Fortnite Creator Economy.

Additionally, during Unity’s annual developer conference, Unite, it was revealed that Unity will introduce support for Unreal Engine within its cross-platform commerce platform. This update will give Unreal Engine developers more options for managing their digital catalogs, payment systems, and online stores across PC, mobile, and web. They will be able to handle pricing, promotions, and live operations with Unreal Engine, with these features expected to launch early next year.

Unity’s president and CEO, Matt Bromberg, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “We’re excited to partner with Epic Games to create more opportunities for game developers around the world. Choice and open systems foster growth for everyone in the gaming ecosystem.”

Epic Games founder and CEO, Tim Sweeney, emphasized the importance of collaboration in building an open and interoperable metaverse, saying, “Just like the early days of the web, we believe that companies need to work together to build the open metaverse in a way that’s interoperable and fair. Working alongside Unity, we’re helping developers build fun games, reach bigger audiences, and find success.”

More details about the partnership and product timelines will be shared next year. The Unite conference, which gathers over 1,500 developers for technical sessions, networking, and hands-on learning, featured a livestreamed keynote. Recordings of the sessions are now available on Unity’s YouTube channel.
