I only know a couple of studios who have their hands on the UE5 alpha. These guys might be targeting UE5, but I really doubt they have it. Much larger studios who want to use it have not been able to get their hands on it. I know some studios who plan on using it based on the info from the demo, but there's so much we don't know yet. We also don't know how stable and ready the engine is for a fully fledged game.

One big question mark is if the XBSS is going to be able to handle it, if UE5 is flexible enough to run on it. This is a big leap in technology, and we know for a fact that the PS5 SSD is part of the reason it works (and I imagine, despite its SSD being slower (simplified statement), the XBSX will be able to handle it too).

I don't believe this is using unreal engine 5 *yet*. That engine is not available to external developers until next year. They say it *will* use ue5, but any game on ue4 can be ported down the road so that doesn't say much.

@abstractel

UE5 supports last generation consoles PS4 and Xbox One, as well as android and ioS.

So i think Series S can definitely handle UE5

"I only know a couple of studios who have their hands on the UE5 alpha."

@abstractel

Only one studio has the UE5 editor. Epic Games. Select companies will have early access next year.

Nope. The Sims 5

i am very excited to see what Unreal engine 5 brings to the next generation. That demo they showed earlier this year was amazing

[ClayRules2012]

Yeah, I am as well. Unreal engine 4 did work wonderful for Days Gone with the open world, my is it gorgeous and dense, and scary. Unreal Engine 5’s extremely impressive I wonder, will Bend will go with UE5 for the sequel?

[lifeisgamesok]

I think they will. Bend has devs that work very closely with Unreal Engine so they'll know how to get the most from UE5. Days Gone 2 is going to look amazing

[ClayRules2012]

@lifeisgamesok

I didn’t know they had devs working closely with Unreal engine, that’s great. And yeah, I can only imagine how amazing it’ll look, and how many freakers on screen they’ll be able to bring this time, and how different they’ll react and so on. Can’t wait!

New Unreal Tournament?

[RaidenBlack]

They didn't even finish the UE4 one ... (UT 2017)

"all developers are assigned to Fortnite related development tasks".

[WeAreLegion]

*sigh*

Don't think we'll ever get another proper Unreal Tournament.

[chaoticsoulxx]

Unreal tournaments days are gone. See what i did there =D

Hell yeah

Ue5 doesnt launch until back end of next year, so how?

Isn't this archviz?
There is pretty my zero chance This is ue5

[DJStotty]

Developers are using tools to develop now, UE4.25 (UE4 with UE5 dev options).

This will then directly port over to Unreal Engine 5, chances are there are a lot of games being developed with UE5 in mind.

Directly from Unreal :-

"Unreal Engine 4.25 already supports next-generation console platforms from Sony and Microsoft, and Epic is working closely with console manufacturers and dozens of game developers and publishers using Unreal Engine 4 to build next-gen games.

Unreal Engine 5 will be available in preview in early 2021, and in full release late in 2021, supporting next-generation consoles, current-generation consoles, PC, Mac, iOS, and Android.

We’re designing for forward compatibility, so you can get started with next-gen development now in UE4 and move your projects to UE5 when ready. "

So yeah as stated the Xbox One and PS4 will be using Unreal Engine 5.

[milohighclub]

I am developing in ue4, using next gen tools, I will be also updating my game to ue5 when it launches..... this doesn't mean i am developing in ue5

The next gen tools available nowadays are both pretty much exclusive to audio.

Source: I've been using ue4 since Feb

[DJStotty]

So whatever it is your developing, will be using UE5 once you transfer your project right?

So using UE4.25, you are still essentially developing with UE5 in mind, otherwise you would just be using UE4 with current tools correct?

[milohighclub]

Yeah but that's not what I'm debating. This is claiming to be using ue5, I'm debating that it isn't.

The Dev could be planning on using ue5 in the future but that isn't the claim made in this article.

[DJStotty]

The article claims :-

"DeSand Game Studios has announced that Dreamhouse: The Game will be using Unreal Engine 5"

Note the "will be" and not "is currently"

No debate needed.

You can also claim "my project will be using UE5" you are not making a false claim, even though you are using UE4 with 5 toolsets to develop.

[milohighclub]

"Dreamhouse: The Game is one of the first games using Unreal Engine 5, first screenshots"

Note:- "using"

[DJStotty]

""Dreamhouse: The Game is one of the first games using Unreal Engine 5, first screenshots"

And it is one of the first games to be shown to be using UE5?
