We're pleased to announce that Unreal Engine 4.25 is now available for download, with a host of new and enhanced features for industries across the board.

For game developers, this is the first release with initial support for Sony's PlayStation 5 and Microsoft's Xbox Series X as first-class platforms, and throughout the year we will be updating the 4.25-Plus branch with optimizations, fixes, and certification requirements to support developers launching on the next generation of consoles. Features include platform-specific functionality, such as new audio advancements, initial support for online subsystems, and early support for TRC and XR certification requirements.

That's great, but I do wonder if we will ever get an Unreal Engine 5.

Great news

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Excellent news.

Can't wait to see games utilizing this

 

[DonF]

Super expected, why wasnt released sooner? I guess that previous unreal engines could still run on next gen hardware, but this is specially designed or only this version runs on next gen hw?

 

[JLB]

That's great, but I do wonder if we will ever get an Unreal Engine 5.

Eventually, not sure what versioning system is being used, typically non backwards compatible changes justify major version increments.

 

[The Hamburglar]

Haven't been the biggest fan of the look of games made in unreal 4 this gen.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

UE4 definitely seems to be a big player, at least early on, in next gen development. Wonder if UE5 drops within the next couple years

 

[TheUndeadGamer]

Thanks, JLB, and others for the reactions. Haha.
I expect UE5 to drop sometime in the next 3 - 4 years. But, maybe we will go through a whole console generation without UE5.

Yeah
The Unreal Engine 5 demo it was amazing.
It feels like see a new Tomb Raider or Prince of Persia game nexgen
