That would be for creating textures. Most 3d objects in games are really 2d images applied to 3d surfaces. Although photoshop has some pretty robust 3d capabilities these days so maybe that is part of the workflow.

Photoshop 3D has been a thing for a while.

Photoshop to generate lightweight mocks and objects -> C4D generates scenes (and/or objects) -> Unity for animation or interactivity

To be honest I would have thought that Photoshop would only be used for textures, modelling and mocking up in C4D is very easy and fast for 3D meshes.
