On November 19, 2025, at the Unite conference, Unity and Epic Games unveiled a groundbreaking partnership that will see the Unity engine incorporated into the Fortnite ecosystem. This strategic collaboration is designed to foster the creation of an open metaverse, enabling players to seamlessly explore a wide array of content within the game. Moreover, it will facilitate web-based browsing and purchasing of skins, enhancing the overall gaming experience. Looking ahead, Unity developers will gain the ability to directly publish their games on Fortnite, tapping into its vast user base of 500 million registered players and actively participating in the burgeoning creator economy. Simultaneously, Unity's cross-platform commerce platform will extend its support to Unreal Engine, providing Unreal developers with a broader range of management tools. These tools encompass pricing strategies, promotional activities, and real-time operational capabilities. Developers can anticipate being able to leverage Unreal Engine for these management tasks by the beginning of next year. Further details regarding the partnership and the timelines for product updates will be disclosed in the coming year.
