Sony has made a $250 million investment to acquire a minority stake in EpicGames, the developer of Fortnite.

A gamer plays the video game 'Fortnite Battle Royale' developed by Epic Games on a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 smartphone during the 'Paris Games Week' on Oct. 26, 2018 in Paris, France.Fortnitein a released statement: "Sony and Epic have both built businesses at the intersection of creativity and technology, and we share a vision of real-time 3D social experiences leading to a convergence of gaming, film, and music.

While the companies didn't reveal specific plans on how they will collaborate, Epic's Unreal real-time gaming engine is growing in use in Hollywood's animation, VFX and production communities. Sony Innovation Studios in Los Angeles has been developing virtual production capabilities, which were prominently featured last January in the company's CES exhibition area. Unreal has enabled numerous virtual productions, such as Jon Favreau's.
