Fortnite went from Unreal 4 to 5. They’re quite similar systems but Unreal changed pretty fundamentally between 3 and 4, so this is a big leap. We’re talking about an engine that was built in 2006. I’m sure Psyonix has the internal support required to port it, but there’s a lot more than a visual upgrade involved.
So far all updates made it to Steam. The engine update will likely be barely noticeable. Wasn’t when Fortnite did it.
