Epic MegaGrants are financial awards from Epic Games designed to support smaller teams, solo developers, and innovators using Unreal Engine or enhancing the open-source 3D graphics ecosystem. Grants typically range from $5,000 to $75,000, with exceptional projects potentially receiving up to $150,000. Eligible projects include indie games created by small or solo teams using Unreal Engine, experiences built for Fortnite Creative, projects transitioning from another engine to Unreal Engine, and other creative projects such as films, TV shows, live events, and educational initiatives related to Unreal Engine. Applicants retain ownership of their intellectual property, and the funding can be used for development and production purposes. The grants aim to support projects that push boundaries and contribute to the advancement of real-time 3D spaces.
