Epic Games has announced its pricing for the use of Unreal Engine by non-game creators, who will now typically pay $1850 a head each year to use the powerful development software.
The upcoming change, first telegraphed last year, will kick in with the launch of Unreal Engine 5.4 next month – details of which we’re expecting to hear in the coming days from Epic during its annual State of Unreal livestream.
As previously promised, there’s no change for game developers, who pay a flat five percent royalty to use Unreal Engine if their project ends up earning over $1m.
