The head of Epic Games claims that he praised the PlayStation 5 not for 250 million Sony – review

Tim Sweeney, Founder Epic games, during the presentation of the Unreal Engine 5 engine, praised the capabilities of the PlayStation 5, calling, in particular, the SSD used “best in class.” This was in early June, and a month later it became known that Sony invested $ 250 million in Epic Games.

Such a coincidence seemed suspicious to some Twitter users: weren’t financial arrangements behind such laudatory statements?

Tim Sweeney assured that in this case one event really followed another, but it did not happen as a result of the first.

This is what I said in May. A serious discussion of financial investments began after the presentation of Unreal Engine 5, the demo version of which we showed on the PlayStation 5. I think they liked it!

Sweeney referred to his own May tweet, in which he told what Epic Games had been working with Sony over the past months. All projects are already officially announced: Unreal Engine 5 for PlayStation 5, Nanite, Lumen and online services for cross-platform games on all platforms.
