Unreal Engine 5 will come out in preview in early 2021 and will support current consoles, next-gen consoles, mobile phones, PC, and Mac.

After the tech demo was shown and the live stream wrapped up, gamers flew to Twitter to give their opinions and shout out their feelings into the gaming void. I’ve rounded up some of the best reactions to the PS5 gameplay reveal, and you can see them down below!

Unreal Engine 5 looks phenomenal. Amazing work by Epic and @BrianKaris as always. Would love to see how that demo looks on Xbox Series X! 🙃

Xbox: Here's a gameplay showcase! (With no demos.)

Gamers: Boooo. Give me gameplay.

Epic Games: Here's gameplay running in Unreal Engine 5 on a PS5 devkit! (Like, an actual demo.)

Gamers: Boooo. An engine showcase? No 60FPS? Not until 2021? Where's a real game reveal?

Me:🤦

The Unreal Engine 5 demo got me more enthusiastic about next-gen than last week's Inside Xbox. Real talk.

After seeing that Unreal Engine 5 demo, imagine what GOW2, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Horizon 2 will look like on their respective engines too. Simply exciting!
