Fortnite 4 releasing in an hour or two running Unreal Engine 5.1 with Nanite and Lumen enabled. Pretty sure that makes Fortnite the first fully featured UE5 game available.

Unreal Engine 5 ushers in a generational leap in visual fidelity, bringing an unprecedented level of detail to game worlds like the Battle Royale Island. Next-gen Unreal Engine 5 features such as Nanite, Lumen, Virtual Shadow Maps, and Temporal Super Resolution are now available in Fortnite Battle Royale on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and cloud gaming!

Nanite, Lumen, Virtual Shadow Maps, and Temporal Super Resolution - In Detail​


So what do these UE5 features do in Fortnite Battle Royale exactly? You can read the technical explanations below, or just skip to the pictures!



Nanite​

Nanite provides highly-detailed architectural geometry. Specifically, buildings are rendered from millions of polygons in real time, and each brick, stone, wood plank, and wall trim is modeled.

Natural landscapes are highly-detailed too. Individual trees have around 300,000 polygons, and each stone, flower, and blade of grass is modeled.

Lumen​

Lumen reflections provide high-quality ray traced reflections on glossy materials and water.

Also, Lumen provides real-time global illumination at 60 FPS. You’ll see beautiful interior spaces with bounce lighting, plus characters reacting to the lighting of their surroundings. (For example, red rugs may bounce red light onto your Outfit.) Also, Outfits that have emissive (a.k.a. glowing) qualities will scatter light on nearby objects and surfaces.

Virtual Shadow Maps​

Virtual Shadow Maps allow for highly detailed shadowing. Each brick, leaf, and modeled detail will cast a shadow, and character self-shadowing is extremely accurate. This means that things like hats and other small details on characters will also cast shadows.

Temporal Super Resolution (TSR)​

Temporal Super Resolution is an upgrade over Temporal Anti-Aliasing in Fortnite, and allows for high-quality visuals at a high framerate.

Fortnite just took its final form. Full Unreal Engine 5 SDK released today and 40% of net revenue will go to modders.

They got the Lego licence...

:what:

With the Fortnite v28.00 update, over 1,200 Outfits now have a LEGO® Style in addition to their regular Fortnite Style! LEGO Styles are playable in upcoming LEGO experiences inside Fortnite, including the all-new survival crafting adventure LEGO Fortnite. LEGO Fortnite launches December 7, 2023… the adventure is building!

LEGO Styles for Outfits you already own will be in your Locker automatically at no additional cost. The same applies to a number of existing Emotes you can use with the LEGO Styles of your Outfits. To find Outfits that have a LEGO Style, check the Outfit’s detail page when browsing the Shop or your Locker. New LEGO Styles will be added to Fortnite often! Be sure to check your Locker to see if a higher detailed LEGO Style will be added in the future.

Stay tuned for more info on LEGO Fortnite soon!
