Epic Games is a producer who is responsible, among others, for the development of the popular Fortnite game. The company has a good relationship with Sony recently. Both companies worked closely together to create a demo showing the capabilities of the Unreal Engine 5 engine, which was made using PlayStation 5. Importantly, this is not the end of close cooperation between companies, because Sony decided to become a shareholder of Epic Games.
Sony has officially become a minority shareholder in Epic Games. As part of the investment, Sony purchased shares for 250 million of dollars, which translated into a 1.4% stake in the company. Companies will cooperate mainly when creating games, but what is important - Epic Games will not become a company creating exclusive games for PlayStation 5.
