- Watch Epic Games’ CEO Tim Sweeney explain Epic’s vision for the metaverse in this recording from the State of Unreal at GDC 2023!
At this year’s State of Unreal, Epic introduced Unreal Editor for Fortnite, a new creator marketplace called Fab, and a fair and equitable way for digital creators to get paid for their work with Creator Economy 2.0.
Discover how these initiatives-and everything Epic has been building for the past 30 years-fit together into a single strategy to build a democratized open metaverse.

Tim may not look very comfortable on stage, but what he does behind the scene to push forward Unreal Engine and Epic is really impressive!
Metabourne one and Oculus signed a partnership. It will blow up once it hits mainstream.. The use of crypto in metaverse VR gaming can create new revenue streams for developers and publishers, leading to more investment in the industry.
I believe Metabourne one will be a game changer!. Metaverse VR gaming and crypto can provide diversification in an investment portfolio, as they are not correlated with traditional asset classes.
Metabourne one presale starting...I am expecting brutal gains..200x. The rise of metaverse VR gaming and crypto can create new investment opportunities for early adopters and innovative companies.
How i proud when he mentions godot
While I love this. And it is a huge step in the right direction, but I have one request. Allow us to make and sell skins on the fortnight store which you can collect commission from. I would also like to be able to alter the player character animations.
Yes skins and garments would be great
He gets it! Never heard such a logical explanation of the Metaverse. "Just friends getting together doing whatever they want". Would love to work at a company like this one day! Keep going Epic!
I am trying my best at learning Unreal Engine. It obviously has so much potential. But it also pushes me to my limits all the time. Not easy to stay motivated. .🤕
Don't rush it, you can't rush it. I have been learning UE for years, take it slow instead of burning yourself out. Make ultra simple games to hone what you have learned. Ideally your first game shouldn't even have any animations or skeletal meshes.
@@Navhkrin Thanks for your encouragement. 🙂 It's just really a lot to take in at once. Tutorials differ so vastly in complexity and quality that large chunks of time get utterly wasted by searching for the next helpful learning experience. There's some really good content available on the Unreal Engine homepage. But it feels like I'd need ten times as much to achieve more than scratching at the surface.
@@120spm I found paying for a course and following a good tutor helps a lot with consistency of teaching style and provides a step by step path to learning.
@@aoc8548 Yeah, that might the better approach. I find myself jumping from free tutorial to free tutorial. And while often interesting they mostly don't really explain the thought processes and logic behind what it happening on the screen. "Click here, connect that to get this effect" doesn't lead to a deeper understanding without having a good basic knowledge of how things work.
You sure don't want to miss to invest in Metabourne one. The integration of crypto in metaverse VR gaming can help to create a more secure and transparent in-game economy, benefiting both players and developers.
This is an invitation to the future, thank you for your incredible work!
Tim Sweeney is the reason why im using Unreal Engine 5. Because i just love this guy. Support him!!!
I will be doing my part and recreating Skull Island from Peter Jackson's King Kong
Tim Sweeney is the man
NO 4k video or 1440p only 1080p????
There's still people who don't even have internet capable of watching 1080.......
This has got some strong Ready Player One vibes. In a good way. :D
James Halliday 😂
I'm interested to see where this goes.
Unreal Editor going to rocks!!!
nobody gonna talk about how they just confirmed unreal engine 6?
That's not really news. Of course there will be a UE 6 at some point. You probably missed the part where he said it will take almost a DECADE for UE 6 to release.
@@Schytheron most of the decade. But in the meantime, there will be stuff releasing that pushes the boundaries on what's available. The infrastructure has to be built for this.
Developers aren't reliant on UE6 to develop the Metaverse, UE5 is an extremely powerful tool as it is. There will be plenty of exciting things happening to take your focus off UE6 being released.
Not all hero wear capes
Cool
The "Metaverse" sucks, no matter how you put it.
I love your videos
bro its amazing
Looking forward to the day this vision becomes realized.
I disagree about nft's , if you want people to spend more time using your product they will have to have something to show for it like ownership of there skins and in game content, Collecting cars is a great hobby and you can sell those cars, golf is a great hobbie and you can sell your old golf clubs. Video games is a great hobby if you can own your stuff?
Okay so Unreal HMO🗣️
If possible, could y’all create a mobile game dev kit. Ta build on ya phone for mobile games. Sum of tha top new tech ta make it easier, like chat gpt & ai, procedural on a smaller scale, & camera scans from phone. Text ta asset. Ai programmer! I’d mainly use it ta make 3d interactive art scenes, but I’m sure others wouldn’t mind it for game dev! Wit a mobile asset store, where most ppl can use there phone for 3d scans & uploads
I’ve puttin a lot of thought into it, & could describe more
lets goo
Yeah so basically we get ready player one irl
Can't wait
Is Tim Sweeney the James Halliday of real life? they even talk similarly
@@nerdyworld938 would be cool to be honest
@@ironeagle9096 what do you think of this? I mean Roblox is pushing it and so is Facebook so I’m wondering what exactly makes this different? I think it’s because they keep on emphasizing how open they want it to be and how they are trying to be different than Facebook and Roblox but idk
@@nerdyworld938 the unreal engine has more potential. Roblox is not nearly as powerful as ue5, and facebook is destined to fail tbh. It's old af. That's why if someone does oasis irl, it's gonna be epic games. I hope that they are gonna work with valve to make a shared library thing
@@ironeagle9096 That would be cool! And it’s interesting because in the video Tim mentions how epic games jumped from 2D to 3D and mentions Fortnite personally I’m really excited and seeing unreal engine stuff is absolutely beautiful. Maybe epic games would be like Gregarious games(the studio that Halliday made and that made the oasis) only Epic Games has Fortnite and so launching their metaverse would be a step up and it’s exciting too because in 2045 I’d be 40 years old so not old but still the perfect age to see whatever new technology comes our way by then
Open Metaverse will be taken to new heights with Unreal
Thank you ❤ Love from India 🇮🇳
Everyone ignores that Second Life has done all of this for decades and was (is?) massive with brands and companies, schools and people.
What's up with all these metabourne shills?
NFTs definitely have to play a role in the future of the metavverse. People will need autonomous custody of their digital property else we have more of the same restrictive paradigms of web2 where value accrues to a few select entities.
Yes
Stop treating VR as a footnote!
We will when it stops being a footnote.
@@pcrizz you sound just like one of those yokels on the local news in 1989 "I'll never have one those personal computers in my home!"
@importon Do I? Because I own a VR set.
The 3D effect is nice, but the interactivity is clunky and inefficient, meaning the functionality is limited from both an entertainment and productivity standpoint. This is due to the current available hardware and software.
In time it will likely grow or change to be more than a footnote, but it is not more than that right now.
@@pcrizz Agree productivity-wise. Disagree entertainment-wise. "The 3D effect is nice" is a lazy dismissal. (unless of course you only have 1 eye). So far there have been exactly 2, and only 2 games that could be called "good" IMO, but once you play those games, you can't go back to playing the flat version (unless you're too lazy or embarrassed to wear a headset in your household, or need to have excessively long and unhealthy play sessions). It's clear as day to me that being immersed in a game world is far superior to watching a game on tv. It's without a doubt the only way to experience a realtime 3d world moving forward.
@importon I feel sorry for you if you can't be immersed in a game world without a 3D effect.
I've been gaming for over 2 decades and the best games are immersive due to their gameplay, but not by attempting to mimic a 3D effect which all VR currently is. It will be more advanced when it is able to better simulate the change in light at a distance, because at this time, all headset light is limited to the distance from your eyes to the lenses themselves, and it shows if you occasionally take your headset off and experience reality.
The only thing that's lazy is your imagination, there's a whole world of good games to experience that you are missing out on and your so-called inability to be able to go back is because you never understood those games to begin with.
Not that it's totally your fault either, many modern games are designed either intentionally poorly so consumers will be forced to buy the next game, due to the incompetence of modern designers, or to coddle and hold the hands of ignorant players who refuse to get better at games and need to complete them or they will feel bad about themselves. It's become so bad that the modern gamer needs the first and third person shooter game to aim for them which for over a decade we considered that to be a cheat, now it's commonplace because bad players refuse to learn to play with such a mysterious and advanced peripheral as a computer mouse while morons on social media sell BS and lies to other morons.
The curse of the modern gamer and the delusional VR fanboy is one of them. Free yourself of the curse.
having seen so many of these ideas come and go metaverse does not excite me. But epic could make it look good, I just doubt anything under Facebook's banner will last and we have had VR worlds since the 80's.
We've had computers since the 60s
@@0x0michael yeah but vr worlds we have had since the 80's & 90's (very primitive poly models, but meta looks like a cheap 2nd life)
We must seize the means of Automation
Unreal engine is badly configured for VR development compared to Unity. More gear towards desktop dev
Well said❤
I Love epic games🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤
Wait... @01:00 .... Metaverse does require VIRTUAL REALITY (VR) or AUGMENTED REALITY (AR) right now.
The Metaverse concept requires the DIGITAL PRESENCE of the player inside the Digital World.
To explain a clear example:
If you are playing a Tennis game in your rooom, and watching the character that is inside a 2D monitor screen, and using a gamepad, that is NOT THE METAVERSE concept at all.
However, if you put your VR Headset and look around, your room is not there anymore, you can see the entire Tennis courtyard, in perfect 3D stereoscopic (as our eyes see the real world), and you also see everything in perfect life-size 1:1 scale.
Also, you can see that you have the Racket in your hands and you can play Tennis moving naturally your hands as it would be in real life.
THAT IS THE METAVERSE concept.
You are "literally" inside the game.
The entire gaming experience has radically changed.
Now think of this translated into car simulations, airplanes, space exploration, surgery training, exercise, live events, historic recreations, FPS shooters, even cinema where you can see a movie from one of the actors perspective, etc.
That is the TRUE METAVERSE concept, and that is ONLY FEASIBLE with Virtual Reality, as today, and probably will be with AR in the future.
Fornite, Roblox, Apex Legends, etc, are NOT metaverse games so far, because they do not allow this kind of experience at all.
Minecraft has 2 possible versions (Minecraft Bedrock Edition and Minecraft Java Edition) that allow VR, and you can mine with your hands and see the world as explained.
So why say that you can set aside VR ? VR It's a 100% required tech.
And I'm not talking about any specific company, you can have any VR headset to experience that Digital Presence.
Buying and selling cosmetics between games are just a secondary idea.
The true idea is that you feel that you are put literally in a new Digital World around you.
(oh and, NFT's are not related with Metaverse at all)
Unreal Engine is amazing, love it, and it does support Virtual Reality already as many games are using it already.
Imagine the power to have that level of realism to create new worlds, mixed with the Metaverse concept where you can be literally inside those new worlds :)
I was about to post the same thing! VR is required in any "metaverse" definition. The metaverse is "a virtual-reality space in which users can interact with a computer-generated environment and other users who are present as digital avatars". It's not a computer game played on a 2D screen. That's called a computer game, not the metaverse, irrespective of it's ability to allow voice communication and social interaction. I do love the fact that he is trying to build an open version though! But he can't dismiss VR if he wants to try. Otherwise, he'll have to call it something else. An open MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online game) perhaps?
Meta should be taking notes right now😂
This is the metaverse that makes sense.
Meta's social networky version may still happen but it will grow out of a more meaningful metaverse, the kind Tim is describing.
My only concern is whether engines will pull down their walled gardens.
METAVERSE what is that, mean OASIS
Oh yes finally a man of culture💪🏻💪🏻 I can't wait to drive my delorean
Also i want all my fortnite skin as well
This is my dream but I own a mac
Sell it, then buy a real computer
Hey it's that guy from breaking bad who sells pills.
The future is Unreal.
It was wonderful listening the past to the possible future; from a legend, thank you. Idea of an open metaverse which is not restricted with fake walls; is what future gamers/metaverse customers would want & should want, and it is great to have a powerful company as Epic to support that idea so it could happen. Can not wait to see what future will bring to us :)
God
First :)
First!
First to comment 👊🤓👊
Forst
Web3 confirmed 👀🤘
Unreal engine does not even work on my computer lol it sucks.
No...no...no...NO! 😭
Nobody cares about the metaverse improve your BR that's the only thing players actually care about.
Nah a lot of people care about it. You're just short sighted.
@@masterodst1 only weird tech bros and big tech companies care about it
You commented as soon as the video had been uploaded, you didn't even listen to what he had to say, at least hear him out before you dismiss it. It's only fair m8
@@MylesMor4les And you're consuming products made by weird tech bros and big tech companies.
@@memebro3181 What other choice do I have? Just because I'm apart of something or use something doesn't mean I like the people behind it or what they're doing.
false messiah had distracted the attention to what is relevant and feasible on the metaverse
Bailey cool you should have it to console is a lot of creators on Console Missing It was a Console players are not happy You could add something similar do you we have been for consoles
fortnite is not worthy of being a metaverse there graphics are cartoonish
lets goo
