I’m really tired of seeing people act like they’re experts on Unreal Engine 5 when they’ve never even touched it. Telling gamers to review bomb UE5 titles doesn’t do a single thing to Epic… it just damages the developers who are working day and night to actually ship games.
I’ve built with UE5. I’ve optimized real projects on real hardware. I’ve tested on Xbox Series X at native 4K and recorded the results…. UE5 runs incredibly well when you actually understand how to use its systems. Nanite, Lumen, and the other new features aren’t some ‘performance killer boogeyman’; they’re tools. And like any tool, they require skill and experience to get the most out of them.
So stop pretending that shouting on social media is the same as having hands-on experience. If you haven’t worked with the engine, you don’t get to speak with authority about its capabilities. Developers already know how to push UE5 to perform… and review bombing won’t change the fact that the problem isn’t the engine, it’s people spreading misinformation about it.
These are my XSX device profile settings BTW.
