Epic Games has Doubled its Value Over the Last Two Years

Epic Games, the devs of Fortnite and creators of Unreal Engine, has already reached a value of $17 billion, which is a significant increase compared to last years.

Fortnite and Unreal Engine are clearly profitable.

Loved by some hated by others, Epic Games is already worth $17.3 billion. As a result of recent investments, the company's value has increased by $1.78 billion (including $250 million from Sony). Two years back, EG could boast of being worth less than 2 times this amount, around 8 billion dollars. This was still during Fortnite's first successes, before the Epic Games Store was established.

His adventure with journalism began with a personal blog, the name of which is no longer worth quoting. Then he interpreted Iranian dramas and the Joker, writing for cinematography journal, which, sadly, no longer exists. His writing credentials include a degree in film studies, but his thesis was strictly devoted to video games. He has been writing for Gamepressure since March 2020, first writing a lot about movies, then in the newsroom, and eventually, he became a specialist in everything. He currently edits and writes articles and features. A long-time enthusiast of the most bizarre indie games and arthouse cinema. He idolizes surrealism and postmodernism. He appreciates the power of absurdity. Which is probably why he also tried soccer refereeing for 2 years (with so-so results). He tends to over-philosophize, so watch out.
