Jeffries financial company has estimated the developer and publisher of Epic Games video games at $ 4.5 billion. Jefferies analyst Timothy O’Shea told Reuters.
For comparison, the capitalization of Epic Games’ main competitor in the field of game engine development, Unity Technologies, is twice as low. According to last year’s data, Unity was estimated at $2.6 billion.
Jeffries associate the high capitalization of Epic Games with the performance of its flagship title — the multiplayer action movie Fortnite.
At the end of last month, the analytical company SuperData Research named Fortnite the most successful free-play game for consoles by monthly audience and revenue. According to her, in March of this year Fortnite generated $233 million on all platforms.
