Epic Games explains why it’s backing Google Daydream VR

When you’re getting into the blooming virtual reality market, you need strong partners. Few could be better than Epic Games, the developer behind the powerful game-making tool Unreal Engine 4 and decades of blockbuster hits.

Earlier this week, Epic Games announced that it created a plugin for Google’s new VR platform, Daydream, that would allow developers to use Unreal Engine 4 to create games and experiences for the device. It also showed off a demo of a classic fantasy-type dungeon experience running on the platform.
