  • Epic says interoperability will rely on a Unity-built low-level networking protocol that connects Unity servers to devices running Unreal-powered Fortnite.
  • Unity developers’ titles will appear in Fortnite’s discovery system and qualify for payouts through the Fortnite Creator Economy.
  • Epic will apply an initial review to ensure ratings compliance and adequate performance for Unity-built experiences.
  • Unity’s cross-platform commerce tools will add Unreal Engine support, with availability expected in early 2026 and more rollout details coming next year.
