Sony and Unity extend their partnership for providing game engine tools for PlayStation developers

Sony Computer Entertainment and Unity Technologies have extended their strategic partnership, enabling PlayStation game developers to get more access to Unity’s game engine tools at no additional cost.

The deal is an important one for Unity, which we hear makes the bulk of its revenues in deals with platform owners, who pay the engine maker to support their platforms and thereby bring more game developers to the platforms. The companies did not disclose the terms of the agreement, which was made on the eve of the Tokyo Game Show event in Japan. We wrote earlier that Unity is up for sale, and any new business deals that the company announces will be magnified in importance because of that. Unity has declined comment on being up for sale.
