About
Epic Games is a Cary, North Carolina-based gaming and technology company best known for Fortnite (the world's most-played battle royale game with 100+ million registered accounts) and Unreal Engine (the industry-leading real-time 3D creation platform used by game developers, film studios, architectural visualization firms, and live entertainment producers worldwide). Founded in 1991 by Tim Sweeney, Epic remains private with significant investment from Tencent (40% stake) and Sony ($1.4 billion investment), last valued at approximately $32 billion.

Twitch still commands 54% of live game streaming watch hours globally but faces accelerating pressure from YouTube Gaming's 25% year-over-year growth and upstart Kick.
