Playstation is one of the current pillar businesses of Sony, particularly a big footprint on the gaming industry, but found a great niche when it started to let its first party studios port Playstation games to PC.

Part of the effort has been Epic Games, which have been given investment from the Japanese tech company and now, it is revealed that Sony made a 3rd round of investment as announced by Epic Games today.

The announcement also indicates that the parent company of Lego did an investment, totalling $2 billion dollars when summing all (1 billion from Sony and 1 billion from KIRKBI, Lego parent company).

Epic Games indicates that the investment will be part of the funds to jumpstart their Metaverse concept, in which Lego particularly will take a big role and while it is strange that Sony taking part of this while trying to release their next gen PSVR or PSVR2 and one can go to the immediate conclusion that PSVR2 games will land in Epic Game Store som time after initial release.

Sony originally invested on Epic Games $250 million in July 2020 to gain 1.5% of Epic Games and later in April 2021, $200 million to help improve the social capacities of Epic Games solutions and boosting the maintenance of Unreal Engine, all this marking today’s announcement, the greatest investment from Sony so far.
