Hello folks

Thanks in advance

That’s not UE5

You’ve opened the wrong version of unreal engine, that’s UE4. UE5 looks slightly different.

You cannot upgrade the engine version beyond patches, (at least normally, I’m sure git savvy people can build some stuff themselves) But you can install new versions by pressing the + next to “engine versions”.

If you have an existing project, you can convert it to UE5 when you launch UE5 directly instead of launching the project.
