Console development

Ik from videos by ReviewTechUSA that Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch have support for Unreal Engine 4, and this has made me interested in developing console games. But I want to know something: do I need to register as a third-party dev before I start developing on the games? Console developers, I would highly appreciate if you gave me the answer to this.

If you want to develop for consoles you have to join their developer program. For Switch it will be the same thing but there’s no info yet on how to contact them to become a developer. If you are accepted then you can contact Epic with your developer info and you’ll get access to the version of UE4 that supports the console.
