During the State of Unreal 2022 event, Epic Games madeUnreal 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 most likely will see heavy usage as the current console generation develops. The new version is said to be a 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 in an unprecedented level of detail. During the GDC 2021 event, The Coalition, the studio behind Gears of War's recent entries, revealed an Unreal Engine 5 tech demo called Alpha Point, demonstrating the technology's ability to create realistic shadows and reflections.
A few Unreal Engine 5 games are confirmed for release in 2023, meaning that players hopefully won't have to wait too long to experience them. 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 games already confirmed to use the engine.
