Epic Games has released a new version of Unreal Engine 4 to all developers. Version 4.23 adds the Chaos physics & destruction system, brings many Ray Tracing optimization improvements & adds beta support for Virtual Texturing.
Going into more details, Chaos is Unreal Engine’s new high-performance physics and destruction system. This system is available to preview in Beta form with the 4.23 release. With Chaos, users can achieve cinematic-quality visuals in real-time in scenes with massive-scale levels of destruction and unprecedented artist control over content creation.
On the other hand, Ray Tracing received many optimizations and stability improvements in addition to several important new features. Version 4.23 improves Denoiser quality for Ray Traced features and increases Ray Traced Global Illumination quality.
Epic Games has also improved support for multi-bounce Ray Traced Reflections by falling back to Reflection Captures in the scene. This means that intra-reflections (or reflections inside of reflections) that are displaying black, or where you’ve set a max reflection distance, will fall back to these raster techniques instead of displaying black.
Last but not least, Unreal Engine 4.23 adds beta support for Virtual Texturing. This tech enables developers to create and use large textures for a lower and more constant memory footprint at runtime.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Exclusive To the Epic Store. Because virtually every unreal game these days and future will be epic Failsclusive.
“Because virtually every unreal game these days and future will be epic”
not Gears Of War.
not Days Gone
not yoshi’s crafted world
not Spyro Reignited Trilogy
Not MK11
and those are UE4’s top 5 highest grossing games.
MK11 is UE3.
Gears 5 is UE4’s currently highest scoring game and it will be on Steam as well.
Not gonna happen my friend, Epic are perhaps evil but not stupid, actually indy devs who choose to be exlusive have 100% access to UE4 without any charge for the engine (no royality taken by Epic even if the game sells well, only the 12% of the store) other devs can do whatever they want with their games and are charged to pay a royality after a certain amount of sells.
That means if all UE4 upcoming games are Epic exclusives, they will not make any money from the engine, and that’s just unacceptable considering UE4 is the most expansive product for Epic
yeah, developers wanting a greater profit share are terrible. in fact they should be giving their games away for free. because building computers is too expensive man.
Excellent!
