“Epic Games and RAD plans to integrate RAD’s powerful technology into Unreal Engine. It will help both the developer’s community and gamers alike.”
The technology has been used before
Moreover, the company has used RAD’s technology before. Especially the compression technology, it is the one they have used the most. The compression technology does a lot of wonders.
For example, it helps the developers to reduce the loading time and improve performance graphics. For Fortnite, which is one of the world’s most popular games, compression technology is assisted.
Man that's….cool.

They are looking so without compromising the quality of the graphics. In short, the plan is to help the teamwork with RAD and pay better focus to render.
The company has said that the whole team works hand in hand for animations, insights, and even audio team for Unreal Engine.
