After years of waiting, Unreal Engine 5 is finally here with a decent roster of full games to look at, beyond the tech demos and samples we had in the past. The early results have been mixed, with some titles exhibiting UE5's merits convincingly while others have been bogged down by image quality or performance problems. Yet there's one question that hasn't been answered quite as well: how well do these technologies scale to console systems? Today we're looking at the current state of Unreal Engine 5 on PS5, Series X and Series S to evaluate how the technology fares in early game efforts.

Explore the future of gaming with upcoming Unreal Engine 5 games. Discover how this groundbreaking engine is shaping next-gen titles across various genres, from stealth survival in 'Nakwon: Last Paradise' to action-packed adventures.
I’ve been waiting to be amazed since they launched it. Some beautiful games out there, but not mind blowing. Hopefully this year is better.
It's still early days, most of the games that have already been released under UE5 were started under UE4.
The devs are going to get to grips with this new engine, and come up with some great games.
I know but it’s been a minute….lol
I just remember those Gears of War, Halo, God of War holy crap moments.
My guess, the engine takes longer to optimize and more manpower to do it right.
Nxt gen, it's always the same until you actually get the OMFG new engine games. Might see some in 2026 though.
In fact, one of the biggest advances in UE5 is the 'ease' with which content can be created.
Take a look at this video from 3:50 onwards, showing how the engine automatically generates the scenery.

UE4 wasn't capable of that at this level. And the devs had to resort to all sorts of tricks to make quality procedural.
UE 5 greatly simplifies all that. In my opinion, games will take a different turn in the coming years.
We need Unreal Tournament 5. If Epic won't touch it I would rather pay fans money to make it. Lately I'm having more respect for fans of games that mod and or do total conversions than the actual devs.
Oh boy, I forgot about Unreal Tournament! Such a good idea!
Yes there is many indie solo dev that works on UE5 'remake' which are doing a great job.
Like OverJump Rally - remaster of Sega Rally 2.
And Shenmue, that is entirely remade by a dev in UE5 as well.
I will speak for PC and say I don't really care for UE that much as I used to. To me the best game engine developer that can probably top UE if he was still making game engines is John Carmack. I wish he would return to doing just that.
