Sweeney is a big proponent of open platforms and the open metaverse. In fact, he will talk about that subject in a virtual talk at our GamesBeat Next 2024 event on October 28-29 in San Francisco. (You can use this code for a 25% discount: gbn24dean). And so Sweeney continues to pressure the major platforms to give more favorable terms to game developers.
He started out on that front by giving a price cut for users of Unreal Engine 5, Epic’s tools for making games. For those who release games first or simultaneously on the Epic Games Store, Epic is cutting its royalty rate from 5% to 3.5% for Unreal developers.

He noted that Epic is in better financial shape than it was a year ago, when Epic had to lay off a lot of staff. Sweeney said the company spent the last year rebuilding.

“I’m happy to tell you now that the company is financially sound and that Fortnite and Epic Games Store hit new record records in concurrency and success,” he said.

Fortnite reached a peak last holiday season of 110 million monthly active users, and Sweeney said the Epic Games Store is seeing record success. He said the company has emphasized the shift toward large social games and the concept of the metaverse. The strategy includes unifying Unreal Engine 5’s high-end features with Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) to create Unreal Engine 6, aiming for easier, scalable game development.
He also noted the financial cushion that came from a $1.5 billion investment from Disney, which has teamed with Epic Games to create a Disney-based virtual world with all of Disney’s characters — interconnected with the world of Fortnite. He noted Epic’s small but important victory against Apple in court in the U.S. and in the regulatory arena in the European Union, enabling developers to promote alternative app stores without (too severe) penalties from Apple.
And he noted Epic’s legal victory against Google’s app store Google Play in Epic’s antitrust lawsuit (alongside the federal victory over Google in a search-related antitrust case). But he still had harsh words for Samsung and Google, noting a fresh antitrust lawsuit over their alleged collusion to block Fortnite’s return to the Samsung app store on Android smartphones.
Sweeney noted there is a generational change in the game industry, with established titles with familiar gameplay not doing as well with consumers, while players are gravitating to big games with more friends.

“This is all happening in the context of a game business. It’s rapidly changing in a way that we’ve only seen a few times in our lifetimes as game developers. It’s a generational change, and while the one of the manifestations we’re seeing right now is a lot of games are released with high budgets, and they’re not selling nearly as well as expected, whereas other games are going incredibly strong,” Sweeney said. “What we’re seeing the real trend here is the players are gravitating towards the really big games where they can play with more of their friends. And so this is a manifestation of Metcalfe’s Law,” about how the value of a network or social experience grows in proportion to the number of friends you can connect to.
Epic Games makes Fortnite and the Unreal Engine.
“And in the world of gaming, that means that you and your friends getting together and playing games, chatting by voice, attending concerts and doing all other kinds of cool virtual things online,” he said. “And this trend — some people will call it the metaverse, and we’re not all in agreement on what this means. Some people, when they hear the word metaverse, they think of what Facebook is doing with VR and now AR. Some people use the metaverse to describe everything they don’t like about the current Fortnite season. But when you look at what’s happening in the world of Fortnite, it’s new and it’s exciting, and it’s something that never happened at this scale in the history of entertainment, with all an original story that’s evolving with original content and also all the world’s brands participating, dropping in, musicians, reaching users, Disney and Star Wars and others, all coming together to create a world class entertainment experience.”
This is the future of gaming, he said.
Back to growth
Bernice is not real. She’s a MetaHuman.
“The primary goal for this decade is to help all developers achieve” their growth goals, he said. “And our strategy for doing this over time is to share everything we’ve built with you so that you can do these same things. And this is not just a message to game developers. It’s also a message the entire real time industry.”
That means film and TV makers can use Unreal Engine for virtual production on a massive scale. So can architecture firms, automotive companies, fashion, music, enterprises and gaming, he said.
“The common thing all of this shares is that we all aim to reach the world with our stuff, and we’re all using the same tools to make this come together in an unprecedented skill. I think Fortnite is just one demonstration. Other games are doing similar things, but as this is adopted more widely by the entire world, we think it’s a growth opportunity for everybody, and we’re way out of the game industry’s current malaise,” Sweeney said.

Epic’s next journey is to create Unreal Engine 6. There’s Unreal Engine 5 for high-end game development in consoles, mobile games and PCs. And there is a new thread of development for user-generated content makers and smaller companies using Unreal Editor for Fortnite.
“Over the next few years, we’re going to be bringing these two development [threads] together,” he said.
That will lead to Unreal Engine 6 and foundations for gameplay programming that are easier to learn and more scalable.
He said Epic will help enable everybody to build a game once and then choose one platform or to ship it to all platforms and all the app stores at once.

On the metaverse, he said Epic is participating in standards bodies like the Metaverse Standards Forum and other groups to define standards applicable to all engines and all digital content creation tools.
“The ultimate aim of this effort is to achieve technical interoperability between games and game engines of all sorts, and to achieve economic interoperability in an open system,” he said. “The game developers can easily build experiences standalone or in Fortnite or anywhere. Purchases in one place are honored in other places, and the entire economy is an open economy where everybody can participate.”
He said that Epic and Disney are working together to build a “new Disney ecosystem that is Disney’s but is also fully connected to Fortnite, such that anything you get in one place can work in the other place, and your experiences aren’t disconnected, and you have the same friends, same items and the same the same social experience as you go.”
He said this partnership is just the first step towards an open system in which all companies and creators can participate together in the future as peers.

More litigation
Step 1 in installing Epic Games Store on iOS.
He said one really important aspect to this effort is “Epic’s fight to open mobile platforms to competition because for a vibrant digital ecosystem to exist in the future, we need fair competition into these monopoly rent collectors now.”
He said the app stores focus on limiting what developers can do, imposing more restrictions to prevent things like the metaverse from happening, or to tax developers to the point where they’re extracting all of the profits from a game’s sales.
“We’re at a point now where game development is expensive. It’s low margin, and game companies are suffering. Apple and Google make way more profit from most games than the developers make themselves, while contributing nothing,” Sweeney said.
So Tim, tell us how you really feel.
He noted how he grew up programming an Apple computer to follow the Steve Wozniak vision for Apple, not the modern corporate vision of Apple. He misses the days when you could do anything with a computer, with not need to ask a corporation’s permission for anything. He noted that is why there is more innovation on Windows, Mac and Linux than on the mobile platforms. He referred to Apple and Google as gatekeepers.

“Among the fights we’ve taken on here, he noted the case with Apple is still an ongoing fight to open up payments so developers can process payments without Apple mediation and without Apple fees,” he said.
He noted the “massive victory” against Google in a jury trial late last year, when Google lost on all counts in antitrust litigation. He noted the European Union’s implementation of the Digital Markets Act, which enabled Fortnite to return to iOS in Europe.
And he said the United Kingdom and Japan have passed new laws, and there’s major legislation in many major developing countries all around the world.
“The world is changing for the better. There’s much more to do. We’re going to keep fighting on until there’s a victory,” he said.

I’ve asked Apple, Google and Samsung for comment.

Whether you’re wearing them for the morning commute, while traveling, or if you’re simply trying to find some peace and quiet while working at home, noise-canceling headphones are a more essential piece of kit nowadays than ever before. And you’ve got a slew of great options to pick from; it’s hard to make a bad choice.
There are longtime heavyweights like Bose and Sony to pick from. Apple has quickly carved into the market with the luxurious AirPods Max. And if you’ve got an ear that demands the best audio quality, headphones from Bowers & Wilkins and Sennheiser might appeal to you more than the mainstream contenders.
Not everyone loves the feel of earbuds, and there are scenarios where over-ear and on-ear headphones are just simpler or make more sense than wireless buds — particularly if lengthy battery life matters to you.
Advertisement
No matter how you’re using them, the criteria for picking the best noise-canceling headphones haven’t changed.
What I’m looking for
Comfort
If headphones are causing a sore spot at the top of your noggin, what good are they no matter how good they sound or cancel noise? Traditionally the lighter they are, the more comfortable headphones will prove over extended listening sessions. But manufacturers can also help improve comfort by being thoughtful in the materials they choose for ear cups and the headband that wraps over your cranium. Clamping force is another important factor; some headphones will squeeze against your head firmer than others; this can be great if you want a pair to stay put for exercise, but not ideal if you’re just trying to relax and tune out the world.

Noise cancellation
Practically any of our picks will do an excellent job at providing distraction-free listening when on a flight, at the office, or if you’re traversing city streets. Noise-canceling headphones work by using built-in microphones to listen to the sounds in your environment, and they invert those soundwaves to eliminate the cacophony of everyday life.
Sound quality
Having powerful noise-cancelling used to mean compromising on sound quality. but that’s simply not the case anymore. Most of today’s flagship ANC headphones provide dynamic, rich, and immersive sound. They support a variety of Bluetooth audio codecs, and some (like Sony’s LDAC and aptX HD) can deliver higher bitrates than the status quo AAC and SBC codecs. But don’t get bogged down in those details; headphones that are tuned well with the right components can make your music sound fantastic regardless of codecs.

Battery life
One benefit of buying headphones instead of earbuds is that they can last much longer on a single charge. Whereas you’ll need to plop most earbuds back into their case after five hours or so, wireless headphones can keep the music going for around 20 hours. And some recent models can even exceed that and hit 30 hours.
Multipoint pairing
We all try to do our best at multitasking, and multipoint Bluetooth connectivity is essential for headphones to meet the same challenge. Multipoint allows your noise-canceling headphones to pair with two devices at the same time. This makes it easy to take a call on your phone and get right back to the music you were playing on your laptop without fussing with Bluetooth settings menus.

Bonus features
Headphones are increasingly gaining features that are exclusive to individual manufacturer ecosystems. For example, the AirPods Max are capable of head-tracking spatial audio and other tricks like audio sharing — but only if you’re listening to them with one of the company’s other products like an iPhone, Mac, or iPad.
The “best” headphones for you will differ based on which of those factors you prioritize and care about most, but our overall pick for the best noise-canceling headphones remainsSony’s WH-1000XM5. They offer a combination of sound quality, comfort, and great noise cancellation that’s hard to beat.
The best wireless headphones for most people

$398
With improved comfort, refined sound, and even better active noise cancellation, Sony’s WH-1000XM5 offer a compelling mix of features for the price.
Sony’s WH-1000XM5 have a completely different design from their predecessors. The changes result in greater comfort when you’re wearing them on your head for extended periods of time — like on a flight or if you’re at the office.
Noise cancellation has been further improved from the already-stellar performance of the M4, putting Sony at the front of the pack compared to all major competitors. Sound quality is more detailed and balanced than the older 1000XM4; the low end is still punchy but tighter and less boomy than before. The M5 offer the best voice call performance in the 1000X series to date, and they can connect to two devices simultaneously, so you can stay clued in to what’s happening on your phone when you’re working away on your laptop or tablet.

Sony’s headphones also include unique features like “speak to chat,” which automatically pauses your music and pipes in ambient audio whenever you start talking. Or you can hold one hand over the right ear cup to activate quick attention mode, which is convenient when grabbing a coffee or listening to airport announcements. And like other high-end headphones, the 1000XM5 can detect when they’ve been removed from your ears for auto-pause.
The main downside of the WH-1000XM5 is that at $399.99, they’re more expensive than prior models. That’s a big reason to consider the 1000XM4, which were our previous top pick for noise-canceling headphones. They remain part of Sony’s lineup and can often be found on sale.
Bose’s latest flagship headphones are a replacement for the Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 that offer a more travel-friendly design, spatial audio, better call quality, excellent comfort, and some of the best noise cancellation around.
Bose’s QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are basically a blend of the company’s prior Noise Canceling Headphones 700 and QuietComfort 45 that borrow the best traits from both — while throwing in a new “immersive audio” listening mode. Like past Bose cans, they’re very light and comfortable on your head, even when worn for long stretches of time. Best of all, unlike the Noise Canceling Headphones 700, these can be folded to make them easier to travel with.
Their 24-hour battery life is more than adequate, and Bose has added support for the aptX Adaptive Bluetooth codec for improved audio fidelity on Android devices.

The immersive audio feature works well on some songs, but less so on others. It’s worth experimenting with, but even if you leave it off entirely, you’re left with best-in-class noise cancelation, pleasing sound, and a helpful “aware” transparency mode.
Apple’s AirPods Max feature exemplary build quality, sound phenomenal, and keep up with the best at noise cancellation.
Battery life: 20 hours / Multipoint: No / Audio codecs: AAC, SBC Connectors: Lightning (audio and charging)

There was definitely some sticker shock when Apple introduced a $549 set of noise-canceling headphones in 2020. The AirPods Max cost significantly more money than any of our other recommendations. But Apple’s build quality is on another level: these trade the plastic you’ll find in many noise-canceling headphones for steel and aluminum, and the ear cups are a breathable mesh fabric. They’re hefty headphones, there’s no denying that. But aside from Apple refusing to include a headphone cable in the box, there’s nothing about the AirPods Max that feels cheap. And I appreciate the simplicity of using the digital crown for controls instead of relying on hit-or-miss gestures like taps and swipes.
The most important part is that the AirPods Max deliver audio quality that’s up there with the best high-end Bluetooth headphones. They have an immersive, wide soundstage and fantastic dynamics, and you’ll find yourself hopping around your music library just to hear what they bring out in your favorite songs.

Apple’s noise cancellation is on par with Sony and Bose, and no one does transparency mode better; at times, it can make you think you’re not wearing headphones at all. Extra features like Spatial Audio (surround sound for movies and TV shows) and automatic switching between Apple gadgets help make it a bit easier to swallow their daunting price.

But the AirPods Max do have faults. The carrying case is abysmal, battery life is only average for the category, and just like regular AirPods, they’re designed with Apple’s ecosystem in mind. It gets much harder to justify dropping $550 on them if you live outside the iPhone and Mac universe.
Also, it’s worth noting that Apple recently introduced a new pair of the AirPods Max with USB-C charging and five new color options. We haven’t had an opportunity to test them yet, but given just how little they differ from Apple’s existing headphones, we don’t anticipate performance being any different. The question is whether you’re willing to pay the full retail price of $549 to rid your life of Lightning when the original Max can often be found on sale for less than $400, especially during events like Amazon Prime Day.
The PX7 S2e noise-canceling headphones from Bowers & Wilkins feature a luxurious design and improve on the previous S2 model with superior dynamics and richer overall sound quality.
If sound quality is priority number one, then Bowers & Wilkins has you covered with the PX7 S2e headphones. They exhibit superb, detailed sound quality that some people prefer to the AirPods Max. The Bowers & Wilkins cans are true to the company’s legacy and style, with a fine-crafted design that exudes quality. And the newer “e” variant has a revamped digital signal processing that can bring out the best audio quality from streaming music.
I prefer their physical buttons over the tap/swipe ear cup gestures of Sony’s 1000XM5. With 30 hours of battery life, they’re more than competitive with mainstream, less expensive picks. And the sound profile is delightfully warm and will bring out the most from your favorite music. The main downside of the PX7 S2e is that there’s no traditional 3.5mm or 2.5mm output for a headphone cable. You can still listen wired over USB-C, however.
The noise-canceling headphones with the best battery life

With marathon 60-hour battery life and sublime comfort, the Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless also make good on the company’s reputation for detailed, expansive sound quality.
Sixty hours. They can last for up to 60 hours on a single charge. That’s really all you need to know about the Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones if you’re looking for an endurance champ. But they also sound terrific and prove extremely comfortable over long listening periods. This combination doesn’t come cheap, but you can find some good occasional deals on them.
Sennheiser’s Momentum 4 Wireless headphones edge out Bowers & Wilkins on comfort thanks to their lighter design, and the noise cancellation is slightly better. Next to the Sonys and Bose’s QC Ultra Headphones, it doesn’t get much cozier. These are headphones you can wear for multiple hours without any fatigue or pressure on your ears.
They lack the vintage style of prior Sennheiser cans (like the Momentum 3, left), but the Momentum 4 are far more comfortable.

Sennheiser’s sound signature is a bit more expressive and puts more emphasis on bass than B&W, but that upper treble range still comes through crystal clear. My only real nitpick with the Sennheisers is that they tend to occasionally power on inside the case for no obvious reason and automatically connect to my phone.
Both the B&W and Sennheiser headphones support multipoint connectivity and a range of Bluetooth codecs, including SBC, AAC, aptX, and aptX Adaptive.
Marshall’s noise-canceling headphones stand out for their unusual look and easy-to-use joystick for controlling your music. They’re also a battery life champ with up to 45 hours of playback.
Marshall’s wireless headphones have proven surprisingly popular, and the company’s most expensive pair is also its best yet. The Monitor II ANC headphones are priced at $320, which puts them on the same playing field as Bose, Sony, and other tech companies that have been making premium noise-canceling cans for many years.
Marshall falls short of those brands in sound quality and ANC, but the Monitor II still provide warm, textured sound and perform decently at cutting down on ambient noise. But they definitely stand out from the pack in looks, with a design that speaks to the company’s heritage. The headphones fold up for easy carrying, and Marshall’s signature gold joystick makes the Monitor II simple to control.
They can also last up to 30 hours with NC enabled or up to a staggering 45 hours if you’re already someplace quiet and can do without the feature. That impressive longevity beats our primary picks. A lack of AAC codec support at this price stings, but I’ve enjoyed the Monitor II every time I’ve put them on. They’re more than just an amp brand stamped onto an average pair of headphones.
Update, October 1st: Updated to reflect current pricing and mention Amazon’s forthcoming Prime Day sale. Brandon Widder also contributed to this post.

Amazon’s FTC antitrust lawsuit has been partially dismissed according to new reports, resulting in a “partial win” for the online retailer. In 2023, the FTC sued Amazon for alleged monopolistic practices. Claims from the FTC ranged from Amazon punishing sellers by deprioritizing them from the algorithm if they sold items on their own websites for less than Amazon, to artificially increasing prices which caused consumers to have to pay more money for items.
Amazon requested the case be dismissed in December of last year. Just a couple of months after the lawsuit was initially filed. The case wasn’t dismissed at that time. However, it seems that now almost one year later, things may be partially going in Amazon’s favor.
Amazon’s antitrust lawsuit hasn’t been completely dismissed, but a motion has been partially granted
There isn’t a ton of detail about the motion being partially dismissed. However, it does look like Amazon may be in less trouble than was initially thought when the lawsuit first came up. This week, Reuters and Business Insider have reported that Judge John Chun partially granted Amazon’s motion. This ruling was sealed, so the particulars are unclear. Chun has said that the FTC can still proceed with some of its claims. So while some were permanently dismissed, others are still open for continued pursuance.
It’s also not clear what parts of the lawsuit may have been dismissed and what wasn’t. Chun also ruled that the FTC’s case will be split up into two separate trials. “Chun also ruled the case will be tried in two parts, rejecting Amazon’s bid to have the FTC present evidence of the alleged violations and its proposed remedies in the same trial,” Reuters reports.

Amazon’s FTC lawsuit is a major one for US regulators
Amazon among other big tech companies has according to regulators, been allowed to operate unchecked. Google itself has been involved in several big lawsuits with regulators. The most recent is Google’s trial over the way it operates its ad business. Amazon’s trial is monumental in that it’s the world’s biggest online retailer, and the FTC wants to see Amazon forced to run its business in a way that won’t harm consumers.
The final ruling of Amazon’s case is still uncertain. However, this week’s recent ruling certainly goes a long way to help Amazon, it seems.
