Could be a way for them to get Epic to support the PS5s I/O more with their engine. Which in the end could lead to alot of Unreal Engine games being optimized for it.
Just my guess.

Tencent already owns 40% of Epic Games.
Tencent and Sony made big joint investment in gaming and music together before this.
Sony and Tencent’s ‘East meets West’ label, Liquid State, ramps up A&R with R3HAB signing, new projects - Music Business Worldwide
‘Liquid State is committed to making R3HAB not only one of the biggest artists in China, but also across the whole Asia continent.’…www.musicbusinessworldwide.com
I wonder how much Tencent stake in Sony is?
With this recent investment Tencent (Chinese government) is probably the majority owner instead of Tim Sweeny.
Tencent is looking to invest a stupid sum of money in the animation and manga industry, but some authors fear selling their licenses knowing Tencent will probably censor the shit out of it.

I'd say a spider man skin is more likely as they've been going crazy with the super hero skin collaborations. Captain America, aquaman etc
Sony invests $250 million in Fortnite maker Epic Games
Sony has invested $250 million for a minority stake in Fortnite maker Epic Games, the companies announced today. Epic's games will stay cross-platform.venturebeat.com
Is Micrososft planning to move all of their games to the slip space engine? I am not technical enough to know how possible that might be but I would be done using the Unreal Engine if I was Mocrosoft.
This explains why Epic has gone out of their way to praise Sony. It always goes back to money.

Na i dont think so.
Sony already pay MS to use Azure servers for example. MS pay Epic to use unreal engine. This is common stuff.

I thought Epic had a lot of input into designing the PS5? I was under the impression all the "we designed it around what Devs asked for" was refering to Epic?
Not sure why I thought this

Funny thing is, while the xbox fans are cheering, UE5 will be designed to make full use of PS5 hardware and game assets will scale down to XSX standards for Xbox games.

So, basically take all of the statements about how amazing and unique the PS5 is and throw them in the trash. Not that they might not be true, but never trust a paid shill for information such as this.

Could be, my posts wasn't to contradict what you said.
Epic is a big player, so I'm sure they played a large role into Cerny's design.
PS4 was designed the same way, based on developer wishes as Cerny asked them what they wanted to see.
You don't have to be a so called xbox fanboy to realize what's up between epic and sony, dude. It's called not being blind and knowing how business works.

I could tell, but it probably won't load in full detail on your end.
It's literally what UE5 does.
The $250M deal won't change that.

Sony must have some sort of endgame in mind.

I'm wondering if any of the studios included in the WB Games package have their own versatile and excellent game engine. That could make that deal a little sweeter right about now.

Why would Epic gimp their engine for XSX or PC (easily 80% of their market) for less than 5% of their company value?
Think.

They wanted people to drink the kool-aid and spread fake news like this. Sounds like the $250M was put to good use.

They're not gimping anything.
XSX will run less details at higher res/performance.
Hasn't this been discussed already?

Why in the hell would a game engine be gimped on Xbox? You're a dev & saying something this silly?
Honestly, if I were a rabid Sony fanboy like so many on here, this moneyhat would scare me.
- It means potentially more of my precious exclusives are not just going to PC, but to EGS. Horizon is very foreshadowing; sure it is also coming to Steam but the way both Epic AND Sony handle timed exclusivity, I can easily see future titles having timed exclusivity on the EGS. Bloodborne is already rumored to be coming to EGS. Now that Sony has a (albiet extremely small, less than 1.4%) share in Epic, Playtation exclusives on EGS benefit both parties. Prefer Steam? Lol, too bad.
- This announced right now really discredits everything Tim Sweeny and Epic has said about PS5. Even though the nonstop gushing over the console started to come off as very PR-like, and the fact that Tim himself said they had a partnership with Sony a few months ago, people still stuck their finger in their ears and ignored the obvious to placate their tribalism. I mean, even the way Tim would weirdly dodge questions about Xbox it was obvious he wasn't allowed to talk about it in a positive light except for the regular "UE5 will be great on Xbox." Also, Tim has been giving false statements about Playstation ever since the PS3 days, even going as far as saying how better than PC those systems were (lol). Anyone have that pic of what Tim has been saying every generation? Saw it in some thread here.

Holy shit! Gimme $250 million. I'd make a sex tape banging my PS5 all the way out and post that shit under #PS5 SUPER FREAKS on youtube. Say when, god damnit!

PC is different. I assume it's possible to add more RAM to use more traditional methods to match PS5.
Unless I'm mistaken, in which case anybody is free to correct me on stuff that has been discussed when the tech demo hit the internet.
Edit:
Or upgrade hardware.

I doubt it too, but hey you never know. Once money changes hands, it doesn’t take much effort to prioritise one feature set for one platform over another. That happens today even. I don’t think it will, that leaves too much on the table. But anything is possible in the world of money.

Please, explain it to me like I haven’t worked on a released game before. I’m curious.

No it wont.
Gimping UE5 on other platforms because of a 250mil share of a 17billion dollar company is a laughable fanboys wet dream.

for $250 million I would do a 180 and proclaim the underwhelming Sony conference was the greatest conference of all time!!!

That's not how this works. At all.
However, you post as if you have an agenda so I think this conversation ends here.
