The Unreal Engine 5 has been available to developers for several years now, and Epic Games is actively developing it. Currently, game authors can use the Unreal Engine 5.3 version, which allows them to realize games with stunning graphics quality. There were several major Unreal Engine 5 titles released in 2023, but they were often criticized for their performance on consoles. 2024 has already seen several releases of major games on the new engine, including Tekken 8.
While developers in their games on Unreal Engine 5 are still far from photorealistic graphics, they are increasingly being recreated using the engine in various tech demos. The MAWI United team, which has previously created some impressive works on Unreal Engine, presented a desert in the engine. The authors of the video note that they created sand dunes with a length of 400 square kilometers.
Let us remind you that many Xbox studios are now working with the Unreal Engine 5. In particular, on May 21, the game Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, which runs on the Epic Games engine, will be released. There are also rumors that the new Halo is being developed on Unreal Engine 5, plus the creators of Gears and the developers of State of Decay 3 are actively working with the engine.
