March 21, 2018 (San Francisco: Game Developers Conference; Moscone South Booth 423 and 801) —At this year’s “State of Unreal” opening session, Epic Games showcased new advancements to support the Unreal Engine community of over 5 million developers.
New Features and Content for Unreal Engine Developers
- Live Record & Replay in UE4: Content creators will be able to use footage of recorded gameplay sessions to create incredible replay videos that can be shared with friends.

YouTube phenom Ali-A introduced new replay features live on-stage, revealing a Fortnite video that he created using tools that will be coming to Unreal developers in the 4.20 release this summer.
- Improved Mobile Support: Fortnite has served as a development sandbox for UE4, and by bringing the game to mobile devices, new Unreal Engine features and improvements will make bringing the full experience of PC and console to mobile games easier than ever before.
