Unity and Epic Games have announced a major partnership that will bring Unity-built games directly into Fortnite, opening a huge new chapter for creators and the wider gaming industry.
Revealed during Unity’s annual Unite developer conference, the collaboration aims to push the future of open, interoperable gaming while giving developers more ways to publish, monetise, and grow their games across multiple platforms.

This agreement doesn’t just bridge two of the most widely used game engines in the world, it links them inside one of the biggest gaming ecosystems on the planet.
Unity Games Will Be Publishable Inside Fortnite
One of the biggest outcomes of this partnership is the ability for developers to bring Unity games into Fortnite. With more than 500 million registered Fortnite accounts worldwide, this gives Unity creators access to one of the largest gaming audiences ever.
Creators will also be able to take part in the Fortnite Creator Economy, earning a share of revenue as players engage with the experiences they build.
Unity says this is about giving developers more opportunity and choice. Matt Bromberg, Unity’s President and CEO, explained it simply: “Choice and open systems create growth for everyone in the gaming ecosystem.”
Unreal Engine Support Is Coming To Unity’s Commerce Platform
The partnership goes both ways. Epic Games confirmed that Unreal Engine support is coming to Unity’s cross-platform commerce tools, giving Unreal developers new ways to manage their business.
This includes features for digital catalogues, payment providers, web shops, pricing, promotions, and live operations across PC, mobile, and the web.
Support for Unreal Engine within Unity’s commerce platform is expected to roll out early next year, giving developers on both engines more flexibility than ever before.
A Step Toward an Open, Interoperable Future
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney framed the partnership as an important moment for building a more open 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,” Sweeney said. “Working alongside Unity we’re helping developers build fun games, reach bigger audiences, and find success.”
Unity and Epic say additional partnership details will be revealed in 2026.
Announced Live at Unite 2025
The news was revealed at Unite 2025, Unity’s annual developer conference, which brought over 1,500 developers together for technical sessions, networking, and hands-on learning.
The keynote was livestreamed, with recorded sessions heading to Unity’s official YouTube channel soon.

A Huge Win for Developers, Players, and the Future of Gaming
By opening the door for Unity and Unreal creators to work across platforms and into Fortnite, this partnership sets the stage for a more connected, creator-driven gaming world. For developers, it means new audiences, new monetisation tools, and more freedom. For players, it means more games and more creativity inside Fortnite’s ever-growing ecosystem.
The future of game development just became a lot more collaborative.
