31 May 2025
Epic Games' journey began in 1991 with Tim Sweeney's programming prowess, launching Potomac Computer Systems from his family home. After rebranding to Epic MegaGames, the company gained traction with shareware hits like Jill of the Jungle and Jazz Jackrabbit. The game-changing Unreal Engine debuted in 1998, empowering developers and democratizing high-fidelity visuals. Epic's evolution continued with Gears of War, Infinity Blade, and Fortnite, which became a cultural phenomenon. The company's bold moves, including the Epic Games Store and a lawsuit against Apple, have reshaped the gaming and tech industries. With a $1.5 billion investment from Disney and a vision for the metaverse, Epic Games is poised to revolutionize digital experiences, empowering creators and players alike. Through innovation, community focus, and sheer audacity, Epic has become an unstoppable force in gaming, tech, and the metaverse.
