Imagine playing Miliastra Wonderland (Genshin Roblox) via Genshin launched through Fortnite. Lol.
(Assuming Genshin Roblox even gains traction in the west, right now it seems to be big in China mainly, I think?).
 

Developers will have the ability to publish Unity games into Fortnite, one of the world’s largest gaming ecosystems with more than 500 million registered accounts worldwide, and participate in the Fortnite Creator Economy.

There are 500 million Fortnite accounts now. The most recent source I could find showing the number of accounts prior to today's announcement was 400 million back in 2022. (I know there are >900 million Epic accounts, but that includes everything that uses EOS and shoehorns it into other platforms).

Also the announcement indirectly confirms the rumor Fall Guys will be ported into Fortnite. Rocket League will likely get ported at some point as well.

Everyone is gunning for that UGC pie. Epic, Roblox, Mihoyo, Rockstar and probably some more companies I'm missing.
