Fortnite-maker Epic Games makes ‘huge pivot’ with AI, CEO says
Fortnite-maker Epic Games is making a “huge pivot” towards using artificial intelligence (AI) to boost video game development, CEO Tim Sweeney said on Monday.
The American gaming giant is “moving developers around to retool for maximum AI acceleration,” Sweeney wrote on X.
“The aim isn’t to do the same stuff with fewer people, but to enable everyone here to build MORE and BETTER stuff, and to bring the benefits to all teams using Unreal,” he continued, referring to the company’s Unreal Engine which provides game development software to third-party users.
