More from Unreal Fest Seattle 2024: all the news from Epic’s big event

Makes sense... this is Unreal Fest!

That’s according to Epic’s Bill Clifford. Seems like a smart move if Epic wants to make its mobile stores successful.

Epic’s Unreal Engine will be integrated into Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Cockpit Platform, meaning that automakers who rely on the platform can use Unreal Engine to make in-car experiences.

Following Steve Allison’s Epic Games Store news, Clifford is setting up what’s coming for the day. He says the state of Unreal is the strongest it’s ever been, with more than 850,000 monthly active users on Unreal Engine.

That’s according to Epic’s Steve Allison, who just took the stage.

ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition will come to the store later this year — but only in the EU, which is the only place you can get Epic’s iOS store. The game will come to Epic’s Android store globally, too.

Somebody in the crowd thanked Tim Sweeney and Epic for fighting against Apple and Google to try make their platforms more open.

110 million monthly active, he says.

The lights faded, here we go! Starting off with a sizzle real of Unreal Engine games.

The big screen on stage is showing lots of games, though. Currently, I’m watching a showcase reel of student-made games built in Unreal Engine. They look really impressive!

I’m seated in the audience ahead of the Epic Games’ keynote, which kicks off at 12PM ET / 9AM PT. If you want to watch it yourself, you can catch it on YouTube and Twitch.
