Epic Games, Inc.is an American developer and publisher of video games and software based in Cary, North Carolina. The business was founded in 1991 by Tim Sweeney as Potomac Computer Systems, originally based at the home of his parents in Potomac, Maryland. The company became Epic MegaGames in early 1992 after its first commercial video game release, ZZT (1991), and took on Mark Rein, who is the vice president of the company to date. Moving its headquarters to Cary in 1999, the name of the studio was simplified to Epic Games. ¹⁾
