The Coalition has shared the first screenshot from its upcoming Unreal Engine 5 Tech Demo, Alpha Point. Moreover, the team will officially unveil this tech demo on July 20th, during its GDC Developer Day virtual talk.
As Epic Games noted:
“Catch the public debut of Alpha Point; a UE5 technical demo created by The Coalition to evaluate UE5 on the Xbox Series X/S. Hear what the team learned as they tested internal Nanite assets in Lumen-driven lighting scenarios, as well as their thoughts on how UE5’s performance and memory stacks up in Xbox Series X and S-style production environments.”
For those unaware, The Coalition is the team that is currently handling the Gears of War franchise. And even though we don’t know what its next project is, we can safely assume that it will be using Unreal Engine 5. Thus, this tech demo should give us a glimpse at what we can expect from it.
We’ll be sure to share a video of the tech demo once – and if – The Coalition releases. Until then, enjoy the following screenshot!
John is the founder and Editor in Chief at DSOGaming. He is a PC gaming fan and highly supports the modding and indie communities. Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on numerous gaming websites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

Gears 6 for sure. They gotta finish the girl power story.
Meh. Baked lighting already looked this good last-gen. Here the lighting will be fully dynamic and that’s a game changer for devs but for players it’s hard to get excited about a slight upgrade over what for example The Division already had.
More importantly that slight upgrade cost a LOT of performance
You guys remember all the Unreal Engine 4 stuff that we saw years ago and i don’t think a single game really pushed things that far least not any of the AAA ones.
Let’s hope its not the same this time.
