Can I develop mobile games using Unreal Engine 5?

Absolutely — Unreal Engine 5 supports both Android and iOS platforms. A few recommendations though:

  • Optimize assets carefully: lower poly counts, smaller texture sizes.
  • Disable or tweak high-end features like Lumen and Nanite for mobile builds.
  • Adjust Scalability Settings to medium or low.
  • Use Device Profiles to fine-tune performance on different mobile devices.

Plenty of studios are already shipping mobile titles using optimized UE5 setups.
