Epic Games has revealed that its impressive PS5 Unreal Engine 5 tech demo wasn’t quite as draining on the console’s GPU as you might have expected. In fact, it was about as intensive as powering Fortnite, the studio has revealed.

Speaking with PCGamesN, Nick Penwarden, vice president of engineering for Epic, commented:

I can say that the GPU time spent rendering geometry in our UE5 demo is similar to the geometry rendering budget for Fortnite running at 60fps on consoles.

The results are certainly impressive though, with the demo producing photo-realistic visuals and a level of draw distance that hasn’t been possible up until now. Penwarden has previously described the PS5 as a ‘masterpiece of systems design.’

Speaking of Fortnite, Epic Games has confirmed that it will be bringing the game to the PS5 and Xbox Series X in time for launch, and next year will see the game migrate to the Unreal Engine 5.
