Other than these, Unreal Engine 5 comes with several new open-world toolsets like a new World Partition system that automatically divides a virtual world into grids for easier management. Combining the technology with Virtual Shadow Maps (VSMs), developers will be able to drastically reduce the time for developing detailed virtual environments.

Nanite, on the other hand, is a new “virtualized micropolygon geometry system” that allows developers to add minute geometric details to their games and virtual environments. The developers will be able to see the final lighting that their players will see when running the game on a target platform during the development process. With this, developers will be able to easily create and edit lighting effects inside the Unreal Editor without needing to create lightmap UVs, wait for lightmaps to integrate, or place reflection captures. Lumen is a new dynamic lighting technology that enables developers to add indirect lighting to virtual scenes that adapt to changes in geometry and direct lighting in real-time. Coming to the key features of Unreal Engine 5, the tool comes with two key features called Nanite and Lumen.

Epic Games has revealed that after being available in Early Access and Preview, Unreal Engine 5.0 is now available via the Epic Games launcher.
