Unity will acquire streaming tech firm Parsec for $320M

Unity announced today that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Parsec, which develops software for remote desktop access and streaming. The deal is for about $320 million in cash.

Parsec became a useful tool for game developers during the pandemic, as it allowed many to access work computers from home. Companies like Ubisoft and Sega also used the tech to give journalists and streamers (like me) remote demos of games.
