Epic Games Revenues
Whilst the company is technically ready for an IPO, it will wait for more favorable market conditions, giving investors significant growth potential.
Epic Games' revenue of 4 billion dollars was received from in-game purchases of Fortnite, Unreal Engine, and EGS licensing royalties.
The next generation strategy of Epic Games is expected to increase revenue by 2.5 times and reach the 10 billion mark within the next 3–5 years.
Epic Games will focus on rebalancing revenue streams and investing in new events and IPs, which will lead to an IPO valuation of $57-88 billion in 3 years.
