With its Chapter 3, Fortnite is the first game to run on Unreal Engine 5

So, Fortnite is the first commercial game to use Unreal Engine 5, which is not very surprising given that Epic Games is developing the engine and Fortnite. Visually, the differences are not obvious, but this new technical foundation should allow the studio to offer always more variety in his Battle Royale.

For example, the new weather effects such as tornadoes and thunderstorms are made possible by the new engine version, as well as the new tree trunks subject to the law of physics. Who knows what will be able to imagine Epic Games in a few seasons?
