Unreal Engine Unreal Engines announces free for Developers

Unreal Engine 4 is now free for everyone, and all future updates will be free! You can download the engine and use it for all aspects of game development, including education, architecture, and visualization, even virtual reality, movies, and animations. When you publish a game or app, you'll need to start paying 5% of the copyright fee after each of your games receives the first $3,000 revenue per quarter. In this way, only if you succeed, we can succeed.

Unreal Engine is the complete technology we use when we build our own games in epic. This engine supports all the works from standalone small projects to high-end platforms, supports all major platforms, and includes 100% of C + + source code. Our goal is to give you access to all the tools and technologies you need, so you can create anything and control your progress and product trends. Whatever you need to build and publish your game, you can find it in Unreal Engine 4. You can find such resources on the marketplace, or you can create them yourself – and share them with others.

developed in the Unreal Engine ecosystem

In addition to tools and source code, Unreal Engine 4 also provides a complete ecosystem. You can communicate in the forums, add content to wikis, participate in Answerhub quiz, and join collaborative development projects via GitHub. You can purchase content from the marketplace, or you can create your own content and sell it in the marketplace.

To help you get started, the Unreal Engine contains a number of video tutorials and documentation, as well as game templates, examples, and content available for the engine.

Unreal Engine is now free

Earlier in 2014, we took a revolutionary approach, with an order price of $19 per month so that everyone could use Unreal Engine 4. We put all the source code on the Internet so that every registered person can use it. We flipped the switch and prayed silently.

Last year was very busy for everyone at Epic Games. The number of our communities is exploding. The quality and diversity of the creative work we have done is surprising. When we invited you to submit the project we exhibited at GDC this year, we had to pick out 8 of the 100 best works to show.

The Unreal engine is in good shape and we think that if the price threshold is removed, more people will be able to accomplish their creative goals and shape the future of the media we love. So we went beyond this last threshold and eventually let unreal engine free.

thanks to the community

We are very grateful to all our friends who accompany us last year. Thanks to our concerted efforts and active participation, we have struggled to make our engines better, more usable and more robust, and we have released 7 major updates and more than 10 minor updates.

After announcing the free payment, we will provide a prorated refund to refund the current subscriber's recent payments. Plus, every user who pays for an Unreal Engine 4 subscription will receive $30 of Unreal store payment for you to spend in the marketplace.

A brighter future

In this news release, our industry is in an unprecedented era, with the evolution of virtual reality and augmented reality, as well as the unprecedented large community composed of a large number of independent developers, all face a competitive market and seek the opportunity to stand out.

Since the 25 of epic as an independent company, we have never seen developers face such great opportunities as we do today. No matter what your development goals are, Epic, as a technology provider, and a developer who uses Unreal engine 4来 to develop games, stand with you.
