The Walt Disney Company released its https://s206.q4cdn.com/979796730/files/doc_financials/2026/q2/q2-fy26-earnings.pdf">latest earnings report today, and included in the announcement was an update on the games business.

In particular, Disney said it sees gaming as an area of growth, saying gaming is an area of the business that doesn't deliver "significant revenue" yet but is "strategically important" to the company overall as it looks to the future.

CEO Josh D'Amaro said Disney's $1.5 billion investment into Epic Games and Fortnite speaks to Disney's eagerness to do more in gaming.

"Interactive platforms are an increasingly relevant medium for younger audiences to engage with characters and stories, and our collaboration with Epic Games is central to our efforts in this space," he said. "Our characters are among the most popular across the Fortnite universe."
