It is also possible the devs just chose the PS5 hardware at random. Maybe the demo is an early build of a game planned as a PlayStation exclusive. Any number of reasons could have prompted the decision, but all are speculation. Of course, just because Epic is not running the demo on Microsoft's console does not mean that it can't run on it. When explicitly asked if Wednesday's "Lumin in the Land of Nanite" demo could run on a Series X, the only reply was, "We aren't running it on XBSX." "UE5, with core technologies like Niagara VFX and Chaos physics and destruction-and the newly revealed Nanite virtualized geometry and Lumen dynamic global illumination-is also targeting Xbox Series X," the spokesperson said. To quell criticisms of favoritism, Epic added that Unreal Engine 5 will remain platform agnostic and that the new Nanite and Lumen core technologies will also work on Xbox Series X. "The demo we revealed is running on PS5 because that's been our target platform for this particular experience," an Epic spokesperson told Kotaku. When asked this question, Epic said that the PS5 just happened to be the hardware targeted for this specific demo. Why not show it off on the Xbox Series X, or better yet, high-end PC hardware? While Unreal Engine has always been platform agnostic, the choice of demonstrating UE5's newest capabilities on PS5 hardware raised some controversy in the community. Even more intriguing was that the tech demo was running on a PlayStation 5 development kit. It showcased two new core technologies used for virtualized geometry and dynamic global illumination. In case you missed it, we reposted it below-it's really worth a look. Both makers will now start vying for your attention.Įarlier this week, Epic gave us a beautiful dive into the technology of the next iteration of Unreal Engine. You know it's getting close to release time when debate, hype, and controversy starts heating up.
It also fired up a round of "Whose Console is Better" among the Xbox and PlayStation communities. In context: Wednesday's look at Unreal Engine 5 running on a PlayStation 5 devkit certainly raised many eyebrows.
