One sample project Epic released alongside UE5 is City Sample, which lets users examine and explore an environment Epic built for The Matrix Awakens — the free UE5 demo released for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles last year. It's the first time this project has been made available to the public on PC. The other sample is Lyra Starter Game — a starting point and educational resource for building shooters, which Epic intends to upgrade over time.

I tried to load the demo and I got an error message. It may not work with less than 64gbs of ram. Anyone here got the required hardware and want to try it?

I'm game, will try to look at it later tonight. I did not happen to see a DL site link. Is it on steam?

I found a pre-compiled version of the demo that doesn't need the UE5 editor to run.

The performance is slightly worse than the console demo on my PC. Still a lot of optimization work to be done for sure. 

 

FYI you have to change windows scaling to get the render resolution to change in the demo for some reason. What's weird is the FPS is about the same at 1080P that it is in 4K. I've watched some videos of people running it on more powerful hardware and they get a similar result. Seems to have some odd bottlenecks.
