I am looking for a list of possible outputs for the “Get platform name” function. Unreal documentation only displays a handful of outdated platforms like PS4 and XboxOne. But I need to know how PS5 and Xbox Series X and S are output from this node.

I’m also looking for the list of platforms that can be returned, or at least trying to get some pointers how the format might look like (for example: is it going to be PS5 or PlayStation5?, is it iOS or IOS, can it return iPadOS? Is it Nintendo Switch or Swift or UNKNOWN? etc)  
Any help will be greatly appreciated! 🙏

This is a very good example of the excellent and absolutely complete Unreal Engine documentation… xD

> **[Get Platform Name](https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.1/en-US/BlueprintAPI/Game/GetPlatformName/)**
>
> Get Platform Name

Strings are: Windows, Mac, IOS, Android, PS4, XboxOne, Linux

Yes, but as of 5.3, the documentation still only says “Consoles” instead of PS4. I need to know what the exact string is for PlayStation 5. While it’s probably just “PS5,” the platforms we’re looking for are not explicitly stated on the website.

No, unfortunately not. I haven’t sent the game to the test PS5 we have, which will hopefully give us an answer. Hopefully I will get back to you soon.

Here are the outputs we used in our games:  
Nintendo switch = **Switch**  
Playstation 4 = **PS4**  
Playstation 5 = **PS5**  
Xbox one = **XboxOneGDK** or **XBOXONE** (The second one should be the one correct, they updated it)  
Xbox Series X = **XSX**  
Windows PC = **Windows**

Epic should really improve its documentation.
