During the State of Unreal 2022 event, Epic Games made Unreal Engine 5 available for all game developers to use for their upcoming projects. Several games, both high-profile and less well-known, have been confirmed to use the platform. Unreal Engine 5 is the latest iteration of the highly successful and popular game engine, and it is likely to see heavy usage as the current console generation develops. The new version is a significant leap forward in terms of crafting geometry, lighting, and animation.
Back at Summer Game Fest in 2020, Unreal Engine 5 was revealed running on a PS5. The tech demo showcased some of what players can expect from games using the engine, with an unprecedented level of detail.
A few Unreal Engine 5 games were released in 2023 that showcased the technology in action, paving the way for far more projects to debut in 2024. That said, the engine's reign is still in its infancy, and it might be a few years before the world gets to see its full potential actualized. Developers of all sizes are working with Unreal Engine 5, and there is a diverse range of upcoming games already confirmed to be using the engine.
