The new round of financing was led by the California-based investment firm DFJ Growth, which previously invested in initiatives such as Twitter, Tumblr and Tesla, Bloomberg reports.
The investments were made based on the cost of Unity Technologies of $1.5 billion. Against the background of recent deals in the gaming industry, this figure does not seem so big, given the contribution of the engine to the development of the mobile market.
The company is going to invest the received amount, including in the development of new tools for the development of AR and VR products.
“I believe that one day the AR and VR market will swallow the Internet,” said John Riccitello, CEO of Unity Technologies.
