GDC is always one of the highlights of our year. And while we might not be able to see you all in person yet (soon, we hope!), we still plan on bringing you some virtual talks you won’t want to miss. Unreal Engine 5, MetaHumans, the value of cross-play—we are going to get into all of it on July 20 with a few experts helping us put our new tech through its paces.Here’s what we have lined up:

The Making of “Alpha Point”—UE5 Technical Demo

Presented by Kate Rayner, Studio Technical Director and Colin Penty, Technical Art Director at The Coalition

Catch the public debut of Alpha Point, a UE5 technical demo created by The Coalition to evaluate UE5 on the Xbox Series X/S. Hear what the team learned as they tested internal Nanite assets in Lumen-driven lighting scenarios, as well as their thoughts on how UE5’s performance and memory stacks up in Xbox Series X and S-style production environments. 

Watch the talk live at 1:20 PM – 2:20 PM PDT.
