In combination with the release, Epic is releasing a cut-down, Keanu-free rendition of the remarkable The Matrix Awakens demo alongside a sample game project to experiment with, called Lyra.
Epic is promising a range of UE5 content arriving on its marketplace, but it’s going to be the arrival of the Lyra sample game and The Matrix Awakens that’ll be the focus for Digital Foundry as we take a look at Unreal Engine 5 in the coming days.
The demo had some pervasive stuttering issues owing to CPU challenges in processing big chunks of Nanite geometry – an area much improved in The Matrix Awakens.
After its game-changing reveal on PlayStation 5 and following a period of early access, Unreal Engine 5 is finally available for general download.
