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.

More Fortnite News: F1 Collaboration Arrives 20 November

Alongside the engine partnership announcement, Fortnite’s next big crossover is also on the way. The F1 Cosmetic Team Set launches on 20 November, bringing themed outfits, gliders, and pickaxes for all 10 Formula 1 teams ahead of the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Items will be available through the in-game Item Shop using V-Bucks. Pricing has not been revealed yet.

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.

SpecialEffect, the UK charity that specialises in helping people with disabilities enjoy the fun and inclusion of video games, has announced the total amount raised from its One Special Day 2017 fundraising event on the 29th of September 2017 is £446,000.

The charity’s largest fundraiser of the year, where partners from the games industry gave either 100% of UK or worldwide sales on 29 September, will help its team of occupational therapists and technology specialists to meet the increasing demand for their experience and expertise over the coming months.

Dr Mick Donegan, Founder and CEO of SpecialEffect said, “The money raised from One Special Day is a huge financial boost to SpecialEffect. It will enable us to take on the extra staff we need to help even more severely disabled people all over the world to play the games they love. Being supported by so many games industry partners like Supercell, SEGA, Seriously, Unity Technologies, Codemasters, Playdemic and Rovio is not only a tremendous funding boost but also a terrific morale boost to our passionate and dedicated team here at SpecialEffect.”

“The money raised from One Special Day 2017 will go towards employing two additional clinical staff to join our growing team of occupational therapists and technology specialists. It will also help pay for vital modifications to SpecialEffect’s national accessible games room where people with disabilities can visit to try out a huge range of hardware and software modifications.”

The One Special Day event, which attracted worldwide attention and very positive publicity including a tweet out from reality mega-star Kim Kardashian, is set to take place again on 28th of September 2018 with a significant number of the One Special Day 2017 partners already committed again this year.

SpecialEffect are an award-winning charity that enables people with physical disabilities to benefit from the fun, inclusion and therapy of video games. They support people of all ages through personalised assessments, equipment loans and equipment modifications.

Visbit, virtual reality (VR) and 360-degree video streaming technology company, has just released a Unity SDK and a Web VR Player, expanding the industry’s first all-in-one VR streaming service across all mobile VR platforms and most web browsers.

“Unity support has been a long-time request from our customers. We are proud to bring 4K+ VR video streaming to the Unity community,” said Dr. Changyin Zhou, Visbit co-founder and CEO. “We’re also adding the Web VR Player, which dramatically reduces the difficulties of distribution and improves access for general consumers of VR and 360-degree experiences. Now content creators can generate a web link on the Publisher Portal to share their work, or embed video links on their website, while still protecting their content with domain-level privacy.”

This release marks a significant service expansion for the company. In addition to the Samsung Gear VR and Cardboard for Android, which Visbit already supports, the Unity SDK bring support for Google Daydream View and Cardboard for iOS. Though streaming is optimized overall, the Unity SDK stands out when used to develop Android apps for Google Cardboard because it pulls on patented VVOS technology, allowing 4K and above resolution streaming over regular WiFi and LTE networks, with little to no latency.

Visbit’s newly released Web VR Player is compatible with the widest range of mobile and desktop browsers. Though it does not use VVOS technology, it still allows for the smooth playback of 360-degree VR videos, even in 4K and stereoscopic, and can do so in panning, gyro and VR modes on Chrome, Safari, FireFox and Microsoft Edge. Videos are also protected with domain-level privacy to ensure that they are played only where the IP owner wants. These features are especially outstanding considering that most web players fail to play 360-degree videos well on Safari or any browser on iOS, and do not support stereoscopic.

Along with this product expansion comes a new pricing structure, which includes a Web Only Plan for those who may not need the advanced features designed for mobile apps and a Free Plan for those who are just getting started.

Visbit is currently in open beta and customers can sign up HERE. The company will continue expanding platform support for its VR streaming service, including desktop and console VR headsets.

After the events of Assassin’s Creed: Unity, Arno’s quest for redemption leads him to the town of Saint-Denis, then known as Franciade.

There he is sent on a mission that will take him to the depths of the city, an intricate network of catacombs and deep caves that hold the remains and best-kept secrets of past French kings.

To uncover the dark mysteries that lie beneath the Basilica, Arno is equipped with a lantern to guide his way and will gain access to the Guillotine Gun, a powerful weapon made for both long-range destruction and deadly close-quarter combat.

In Assassin’s Creed: Unity – Dead Kings, players will encounter familiar faces including Napoleon and the Marquis de Sade, as well as a new enemy faction, the Raiders, merciless foes desecrating the catacombs.

Players will also be able to embark on additional side quests including new Murder Mysteries, enigmas; and co-operative missions where players can join forces for a heist mission and a special Brotherhood mission.

Both single-player and cooperative modes enable players to unlock new weapons, gear, and outfits that carry over between Assassin’s Creed Unity and Assassin’s Creed Unity – Dead Kings.
