On large projects, this can result in significant time savings and increased interactivity. In addition, we’ve implemented automated Pipeline State Object (PSO) caching for DX12, simplifying the process needed to prepare a game for shipping in DX12.Īll developers and creators will benefit from on-demand shader compilation-where only the shaders needed to render what is seen on screen while working in the Unreal Editor, and optionally during platform development iteration-are compiled. Initially, this feature will support textures and audio assets, with the intention to add more types in the future.

With Virtual Assets, we’ve decoupled the metadata from the object data, enabling developers to sync only what they need from source control systems such as Perforce-resulting in smaller workspaces and faster syncs for developers who don’t need access to the full object data. You can still make things without them but you might as well stick with UE4 if that’s the case.This release adds a number of features to improve efficiency for developers of games and other large-scale interactive projects, helping teams be more productive.

So now, the new consoles are capable of doing some of these graphical features we have been wanting so UE5 is designed to allow you to take advantage of that which does mean that some lower end hardware is going to be left out of those new features. UE5 really is designed to push things forward, they had tried to implement a fully dynamic lighting system into UE4 at first but it wasn’t capable of running on the consoles (Xbox One/PS4) so they scrapped that feature.

So you would realistically need the M1 Max to actually take advantage of the UE5 features.

The M1 Pro maybe could do it at with some lower settings. The existing regular M1 chip I would say is not capable of running UE5 features, meaning that any of the new stuff you would want to use in UE5 would not run well enough on that chip to be usable. Well, first remember that some of the features are not something that their chips are capable of, like hardware accelerated ray tracing.
