Feature overview
Unreal Engine comes with everything you need to build and ship successful multi-platform games. Get to know some of our features and see the difference they can make to your projects.One engine, everything included
With UE5, you don't need to worry about compatibility between package and engine versions, or between different packages: with a single download, you get every feature, including a unified state-of-the-art rendering pipeline. Plus, with access to the complete source code as well as intuitive Blueprint visual scripting, you can really make it your own.Battle-tested in Epic’s own games
We’re constantly looking to differentiate UE5 with cutting-edge technology like Lumen and Nanite—and we put the features through their paces on our own games like Fortnite before we hand them over to you, already production-tested. And because we’re game developers too, we’re always motivated to keep up with industry-standard tech like FSR 2.0, DLSS 3, and DX12.The help you need to make the jump
Even if you’re new to game development, you don’t need to start with a blank page. UE5 comes with templates for both first- and third-person games; sample games that you can dissect, learn from, and reuse; and easy access to high-quality assets like Quixel Megascans and MetaHumans. Plus, there are friendly forums, useful tips, and hundreds of hours of free learning content on the Epic Developer Community.Switching to Unreal Engine success stories
