Epic Games have announced the release of Unreal Engine 5.1 Preview, a test-drive version of the engine's upcoming update that enables you to try out the new version before it is officially released.

"Developers will see improved performance with Lumen, Nanite, and Virtual Shadow Maps (VSM), now supporting games running at 60 FPS on next-generation consoles and PCs," reads the company's official announcement. "Build expansive worlds using new functionality and improved workflows for World Partition, including support for Large World Coordinates.
