Unreal Engine 5 is now available to download as an early access, pre-production version. Be ready to download over 100GB for the tool and demo content!
I can’t wait to see the games that will be built with this technology over the next few years. The Nanite and Lumen tech is quite mind boggling to name just a few of the capabilities.
To download the new tool, restart your Epic Launcher and go to the Unreal Engine tab.

What is unique about this posting is in the comments section where the original creator of Deck-16, Myscha the sleddog, posts a comment.
Always good to know some of these guys are still around and paying attention. Credits to Heresiarch for finding this.
