Epic Games may get stick for their gaming store. However, we can’t knock their game engine. It’s been a staple of the gaming development community for many years now. Now, updated to version 4.23, what improvements can we expect to see?

Unreal Engine 4.23

The update brights their updated Chaos Physics & Destruction System. This can allow for cinematic real-time levels of destruction and object simulation. That’s pretty self-explanatory, but I’m sure it’ll be put to good use.

Ray Tracing

If that’s not enough, Ray Tracing has improved again. More optimisation, stability improvements and features have been added. The Denoiser quality and Ray Traced Global Illumination Quality tools are here now. There fixes for other Ray Tracing features too, such as multi-bounce reflections.

Virtual Texturing

Finally, we have the ability to use large textures; one single file for multiple assets. Virtual Texturing will help with the overall memory footprint.
