Epic Games Releases Free Unreal Engine 4 VR Demo

September 2, 2015 by Michael Fossbakk

Demo’s entire content library also available for free.

Epic Games, creators of the Unreal Engine, which is currently in its fourth iteration, released a cinematic, slow-motion virtual reality demo and its content library for free on the Epic Games launcher today.

The demo, which depicts a first-person point of view moving through a “bullet time-inspired action sequence,” is compatible with Oculus Rift Developer’s Kit 2, the PlayStation Moprheus, and the HTC Vive SteamVR. Titled “Showdown,” the demo was originally shown off a year ago at Oculus Connect 2014.

Check out the cinematic in question below:

Epic will be hosting a livestream tomorrow, Sept. 3 at 2 p.m. ET on their Twitch channel to discuss the creation of the “Showdown” demo.

Epic Games has made no announcements in the way of a VR-driven game. Currently, the company is developing Fortnite and a new free-to-play Unreal Tournament game, which is being co-developed by the game’s community.

Epic Games will be in attendance at a few VR events this year that include:

  • Immersed Europe on Sept. 3-4 w/ speaker James Golding
  • Oculus Connect 2 on Sept. 23-25
  • SEA-VR on Oct. 28 w/ speaker Nick Whiting
  • VR Intelligence on Nov. 9-10 w/ speaker Tim Sweeney

On Monday, Epic pushed out an update for Unreal Engine 4 that made improvements to iOS and Android support, support for DirectX 12, and support for VR devices.

Currently, Unreal Engine is free for everyone to use. Only after a developer makes $3,000 on a product developed using Unreal Engine 4 will Epic begin taking a 5% cut on future sales of said product.
