Epic Games and Unity have unveiled a new partnership that will allow developers to publish Unity games within Fortnite, marking a significant shift in the gaming ecosystem. The announcement was made today during Unity's annual developer conference, Unite, and comes alongside an exciting expansion of Unity's platform capabilities.

Unreal Engine Support Coming to Unity

As part of the deal, Unity will also integrate Unreal Engine support, providing developers with even more options for building and publishing games. Starting early next year, Unity developers will be able to "manage pricing, promotions, and live operations" for their games using Unreal's powerful tools. This collaboration between two of the biggest players in game development is expected to bring new opportunities for creators in both ecosystems.

Additional details regarding product updates and the full timeline for the collaboration will be shared in 2026.

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

Epic Games founder and CEO Tim Sweeney echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of collaboration in building the future of the metaverse. “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 Sweeney.

“Working alongside Unity, we’re helping developers build fun games, reach bigger audiences, and find success,” he added.

Speaking to The Verge, Sweeney explained that this partnership will “greatly expand the developer base” for both platforms. However, he clarified that a review process would be in place for any Fortnite experiences created using tools from either engine.

“As this evolves into a completely open system, we'd only have reviews for stuff that we host,” Sweeney said. “Anybody would be able to put anything anywhere, and people would be able to browse to it like you do in a web browser today."
