Unreal Engine version 4.25 includes support for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. The latest update with Unreal Engine PS5 support allows developers to use the engine to make next-generation titles. While it may seem like an obvious development?one of the biggest game engines getting next-gen support?it?s a huge milestone as we approach release of the PS5 and Xbox Series X this holiday season.
In an interview with GameDaily.biz, Epic VP of Engineering Nick Penwarden detailed why this is such a big step forward, and the challenges the company faced in getting the engine ready for next-generation game development. ?The biggest technical challenge has been around loading and streaming. The next-gen console hardware has vastly improved input/output capabilities, and as a result we?ve rewritten some of the core I/O and asset-loading systems to be able to utilize the increased bandwidth. We?ve made a number of major improvements and have more work yet to do.?
