According to Tim Sweeney, head of Epic Games, companies will focus on building a more open and accessible ecosystem for all consumers and content producers.

Based on this, it can be assumed that the cooperation will be technical.
Previously, the companies have already worked together. The power of the new Epic Games engine, Unreal Engine 5, was demonstrated on the console of the new generation PlayStation 5.
