Epic Games plans to release its Unreal Engine 6 starting with test versions in 2027. The game maker wants to fix how the old system worked on just one processor thread. New tools will spread work across many computer cores at once, helping games run faster without getting stuck. Epic also made the engine work better on different devices like PlayStation, Xbox, Windows, Mac, Linux, and phones.
The next version adds better graphics with smoother loading. It can bring in high-quality pictures without freezing the screen. Light effects can use both the CPU processor parts of computers. Game physics will run in different areas that work separately. Characters controlled by the computer make smarter decisions because their thinking happens on multiple threads.
Programmers can change code without closing the editor program, saving time when fixing problems or adding features. A command-line tool helps teams build games automatically. The engine works with Python to make simple tools. Developers see helpful information generated from comments they write in their code.
