Unreal Engine 5 The Coalition Tech Demo Was Not Fully Optimized For Xbox Series X S

The Coalition’s impressive Alpha Point Unreal Engine 5 tech demo was not fully optimized for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, and the developer expects to achieve something more impressive once new features come to the current generation consoles by Microsoft.

Speaking with IGN, a representative for the development studio confirmed the Unreal Engine 5 tech demo was not fully optimized for the Xbox Series X and S hardware, listing the upcoming features that will bring better visual quality and performance.

The Coalition also confirmed that hardware Variable Rate Shading optimizations have yet to be added to the Unreal Engine 5, but the studio plans to work with Epic on the matter.

More information on Unreal Engine 5 and some of its features, like the impressive Lumen dynamic global illumination system, can be found on its Official Website.

Next up is Lumen, a fully dynamic global illumination solution. With Lumen, you can create dynamic, believable scenes where indirect lighting adapts on the fly to changes to direct lighting or geometry—for example, changing the sun’s angle with the time of day, turning on a flashlight, or opening an exterior door.
