Epic and Unity frame the deal as progressing towards an open, interoperable metaverse.
Unity developers will be able to publish their games inside Fortnite starting next year, following a new partnership announced at Unite 2025. Unity CEO Matt Bromberg invited Epic Games founder Tim Sweeney onstage to confirm the collaboration, giving Unity creators access to Fortnite's large platform and creator economy.
The integration allows developers to push Unity-built projects directly into Fortnite, which now has more than 500M registered accounts. The agreement also arrives as Epic expands Fortnite from a battle royale title into a broad user-generated content platform.
that independent creators already drive a significant portion of engagement, with 40% of playtime coming from third-party experiences.
