Sony invests $250 million in ‘Fortnite’ developer Epic Games
Sony
is making a significant investment into Fortnite developer Epic Games.
The $250 million deal will give the PlayStation maker a minority stake in the company, which is also makes the Unreal Engine developer platform.
In a statement,
the companies noted they have “an already close relationship,” and that the investment allows them to “broaden their collaboration.”
Though Epic is perhaps best known for its battle royale juggernaut Fortnite,
the investment will give Sony a greater foothold in the technology behind some of the most popular games, as well as an opportunity to work together on more hybrid gaming-meets-digital-entertainment experiences, like those pioneered by Fortnite.
