I NEED HELP Unreal 5.6 PS5 platform

Good morning developers, I’m Marcos, I’m having trouble creating a PKG for my game for the PS5. I cloned Unreal 5.6 from the official Unreal GitHub and copied the PS5 Sony folders to the platform folder before installing. After creating the UE5.Sh file, I opened it with Visual Studio 2022, which is what I used for my game. In the build, I used Development Editor, w64, UE5, but it’s giving errors and won’t finish creating the solution. I don’t know if I’m using the correct procedure. I’m using Unreal version 5.6. Could you please help me compile my game for PS5? Thank you for your help.

Have you installed an prospero SDK via the SDK manager?

Yes, I use SDK version 11.00.00.43.

DId you successfuly build the UE5 project after applying the Sony platform extension files to UE5 source code?


I used this version 5.6 from GitHub, I don’t know if it’s the right one, because my project is in version 5.6.

Not after I compiled it, it gave me several errors.

I don’t know if I’m using the right version; I selected development editor, w64, UE5.

If the platform extension zip you used matches the ue5 version that you pulled exactly, then this is okay.

You have to successfully rebuild the UE5 project (.sln) in visual studio once you’ve copied over the platform extension files to the source code before you’re able to package your project for the platform successfully.

What errors are you getting? Development_Editor Win64 is okay.


There are several, see.

Which sony platform extension zip did you use?

Please do your due diligence:

If you pulled this 5.6 from Github, it actually means that you’re using 5.6.1. On top of that, you’re using the platform extension files for a development version of 5.6.0.

Here’s what I would do:

  • Download 5.6.1-release (use the tags in Github)
    image
  • Download the platform extensions files for 5.6.1-release
    image

Use the correct engine version with the matching platform extensions zip.

Obrigado pela resposta. Não existe a versão 5.6.1 no GitHub; apenas a 5.6. Portanto, não sei qual devo escolher, considerando que meu jogo foi criado para a Unreal Engine 5.6.

I’m looking right at it


It’s strange, I don’t know why I can’t see this version on my PC. Could you send me a direct link so I can try it, and please also send the PS5 version with this information?

… are you reading what I am saying?

I’ve already found version 5.6.1, could you send me the PS5 link for this version?

No, I’ve told you which one you have to download already.


Okay, thank you for your help, and sorry because I’m new and don’t know much, but thank you.
