Do companies have to upgrade engines?

No, you do not.

You could release a game in UE3 if you wanted to.

it's uh it's easier to stay up to date because you have like the sdks for console that are easier to update well epic updates it for you and then you just have to take their update um and a lot of like backwards compatibility stuff it's for example if you want to release on on modern uh hardware it's unreal free will not run on the latest playstation uh without uh

Implementing the whole PlayStation API yourself and that's gonna be extreme waste of time if you don't have an army of engineers.

That's the main reason why to stay up to date.

And less GPU crashes and that kind of shenanigans.

I think with the updates it's like, I don't know, an old engine, an older engine with like good artists and good engineers will make a better game than a newer engine.

But as well, like the tech is not everything and, you know, in things.

So it's not like...

more better it's not just like immediately just more better it's so much more nuances and stuff and caveats that you don't see into your upgrade and you're like ah

it's it's often the long patch notes that you care about instead of the big mega lights yeah like that yeah exactly it's like oh bug fix and this really specific thing that we used oh nice yeah yeah
