Developing for Sony PlayStation 4 - PlayStation 5 with Unreal Engine 4 - Unreal Engine 5

Good afternoon. Tell me where I can find an exact description of which version of the PlayStation source code exactly matches which version of Unreal Engine. and which version of Visual Studio. I tried the name 5.1.1 and UE 5.1.1 and the PlayStation is not added if I try a different version or the project does not build for PS4 with the error: Unknown error 1. how to find instructions? what version work together 100%

Could you please tell me how to get into taht page? i grant premssion from epic and playstation devnet, but i cant find where is the website to download extension file , playstation

I assume you mean the Sony PlayStation SDK version.

If you have Unreal Engine 5.1.1, you need the 5.1.1 extension files.
For PS4: PS4_5.1.1-release
For PS5: PS5_5.1.1-release

The Sony PlayStation SDK version is inside of the Engine\Platforms\PS4\Source\Programs\UnrealBuildTool\PS4PlatformSDK.Versions.cs file, in GetMainVersion function. But any SDK version in the GetValidVersionRange() function should work.

Step 1: Get DevNet access from PlayStation.
Step 2: Get Unreal Engine console access to PlayStation via our Console Access Form.
Step 3: Once you have the platform extensions access you can download the files from the Developer Portal via the Unreal Engine > Downloads page.

I don’t think the Visual Studio version matters, Unreal uses its own build tool (UBT) to compile, not Visual Studio.
