During the State of Unreal 2022 event, Epic Games made Unreal Engine 5 available for all game developers to use in their upcoming projects. Several games, both high-profile and lesser-known, have been confirmed to utilize this powerful platform. Unreal Engine 5 represents the latest iteration of the highly successful and popular game engine, and it is poised to see widespread use as the current console generation progresses. This new version significantly advances the capabilities for crafting geometry, lighting, and animation.

Back at Summer Game Fest in 2020, Unreal Engine 5 was showcased running on a PS5. The tech demo offered a glimpse into the unprecedented level of detail that players can expect from games developed using this engine.

A few Unreal Engine 5 games were released in 2023, showcasing the technology in action and setting the stage for a surge of projects in 2024. While the engine's full potential is still unfolding, its infancy promises exciting developments in the coming years. Developers of all sizes are harnessing Unreal Engine 5, resulting in a diverse range of upcoming games already confirmed to leverage its capabilities.
