Epic Games is raising the price of its Unreal Engine for developers outside the gaming industry.
Speaking during a presentation at Unreal Fest 2023, as captured by Fortnite Creative developer ImmatureGamerX on social media and spotted by Game World Observer, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney revealed that from next year, industries outside game development will only be able to access Unreal Engine via a seat-based enterprise software licensing model.
He clarified that the licensing model would not be "unusually expensive or inexpensive" and would work similarly to Maya and Photoshop.
