Blueprints vs. C++: In a Packaged Game – Does It Really Make a Difference? Unreal Engine 5
We all know C++ is supposed to be faster than Blueprints… but how much does it actually matter in a packaged Unreal Engine 5 game? In this video, I take the C++ vs. Blueprint debate one step further by testing performance after packaging my level.
If you’re a UE5 dev trying to optimize your game, this is one test you don’t want to miss! Let me know in the comments if you’ve noticed any differences in your own projects.
