Mixed (C) — Round Z Pre-IPO Risk Grade

Epic Games operates Fortnite, the Unreal Engine, and the Epic Games Store. The 2022 $32B valuation has not been refreshed; secondary-market trading suggests material reset. Apple antitrust litigation outcomes have produced incremental App Store revenue but not at the projected scale. Tencent's ~40% ownership creates ongoing CFIUS/national-security risk for any U.S. IPO path.

CFIUS / national-security review of Tencent ownership is a structural overhang on any U.S. IPO path; alternative-exchange listing is the most likely IPO scenario.
