Let's have a brief look at running Unreal Engine 5 on my M1 Mac mini, powered by Apple Silicon. I'm honestly surprised it works at all. I will briefly talk about the limitations, quickly give brief overview of interface and some thoughts on UE5.
Here are timestamps:
0:00 – Limitations
2:45 – (very slow) shader compiling
3:47 – compiled and did not crash
4:20 – brief new interface overview
6:46 – Materials and Blueprints interfaces
8:02 – Some closing thoughts
