TOKYO -- Sony gains a platform to marry its music and movie assets with games and build a real presence in the streaming world with its decision to invest $250 million in the operator of Fortnite, the hit online game big enough to compete with such video juggernauts as Netflix.
Fortnite was developed as a battle royal by U.S.-based Epic Games. It now boasts more than 350 million accounts worldwide and has grown into one of the largest esports titles.
