For those that were unaware, we upgraded from Unreal Engine 5.3 to 5.6 with Update 1.2.

That's a lot of numbers.

While that may not seem like a huge jump, we did in fact skip several updates to the engine.

For context, 5.3 came out in September 2023, and 5.6 came out in June 2025.

To put that in perspective, 5.3 came out when Max Verstappen got his world record 10 consecutive race wins.

The last time we upgraded engines, Red Bull had a competitive one.

Yeah.

So we have a bit of a mantra with engine upgrades around the studio, which is the longer you wait, the bigger the pain.

And it's just genuinely true.
