Steamworks Added to Unreal 3 Engine

[Hectic Glenn]

In a new deal today between Epic Games and Valve, the Steamworks tools are to be integrated for easier use to all Unreal Engine 3 licensees. The Unreal engine has been used for many top titles in the past few years and this move should allow further titles easier compatibility with Steam (and perhaps mods?). More from Gabe:

Epic's technology is one of the most widely used engines in the industry and has powered many of the best games created in the past 10 years. It's an honor to have Steamworks included in the technology offered to all Unreal Engine 3 licensees. It's hard to think of a larger, better targeted group of developers who could derive more benefit from the Steamworks services."
