Feature Request: Unreal Engine Mobile – A Native Mobile Game Development Editor
Hello Epic Games team,
I would like to suggest a new product: Unreal Engine Mobile.
This would not be a port of the desktop version. Instead, it would be a version designed specifically for modern smartphones and tablets, taking advantage of today’s mobile hardware while providing a touch-friendly interface.
My vision:
- A UI designed for touchscreens.
- Optimized performance for ARM-based mobile processors.
- Support for creating both 2D and 3D games.
- Blueprint visual scripting optimized for mobile.
- Basic level editing, material editing, and asset management.
- Mobile-friendly project settings and packaging.
- One-click export to Android and iOS.
- Cloud synchronization with the desktop version of Unreal Engine, allowing developers to continue larger projects on PC.
Why I think this matters:
Smartphones have become incredibly powerful over the past few years. Many aspiring developers only own a phone or tablet and cannot afford a PC capable of running Unreal Engine.
A dedicated mobile editor would make game development accessible to millions of new creators around the world. It could also help students learn Unreal Engine anywhere and encourage more developers to join the Unreal ecosystem.
I believe Unreal Engine Mobile could become a unique platform that no other AAA game engine currently offers.
Thank you for considering this idea, and thank you for continuing to build such an amazing engine.
