Epic collega gli acquisti su Epic Games Store alla cosmetica di Fortnite

In Epic’s June 17 State of Unreal 2026 roundup, the company said the Epic Games Store is now connected more closely with Fortnite: when players buy specific partner content on the store, they are granted cosmetics from that game’s IP to use in Fortnite. Epic said over 30 collaborations are planned for 2026, continuing into 2027. Read the roundup.

Epic also said the store now has more than 6,000 games from over 3,000 partners and that player spending on third-party PC games grew 57% in 2025, reaching $400 million. The company said it is rebuilding the launcher and storefront backend to ship features faster. Source.

• The cross-promotion expands the bridge between PC games and Fortnite cosmetics.
• Epic says the collaboration slate runs through 2027.

That could influence both player behavior and how branded content is marketed in and around Fortnite. Epic’s announcement
