"At the core of these businesses is profit and loss calculations but really, what gaming is about ultimately is people," he says. Both Microsoft and Nintendo are open to the idea, while the PC and mobile markets have been primed for years.
Sony has long been a holdout in this space, refusing to allow cross-console play. That means there's no reason, say, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 players can't link up and jump into games together. It's the same title across all platforms. Running on Unreal means these games can play across all platforms with relative ease - the same code is powering the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC and mobile editions of each game. All of these games, and countless others, run on Unreal, Epic's engine (and Fortnite is Epic's in-house baby, of course).
Think Fortnite, Ark: Survival Evolved, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Rocket League. "I think what we are seeing is now these AAA games from traditional PC and console developers going mobile, and they are among the most popular mobile games that exist," Epic Games co-founder Tim Sweeney says.Įpic CTO Kim Liberi jumps in and adds, "I think it's almost the other way, I think it's that mobile developers are taking games more seriously."Įither way, the mobile game market has shifted drastically over the past few years, and today major developers are building massive experiences for tiny screens, often putting fully fledged PC and console titles directly on handheld devices.
