Epic Games modified the Unreal Engine 5 graphics engine to support the PlayStation 5 SSD

It is difficult at this point that you do not know the magical SSD of the PlayStation 5 and its innumerable benefits. Now Epic Games, developers of the Unreal Engine 5 graphics engine, who have praised the benefits of the console's SSD. It appears that they had to modify the graphics engine in order to take advantage of the full performance of the I / O subsystem.

There are many who are praising the incredible features offered by the SSD unit of the PlayStation 5. In the end, all it brings is more read and write speeds than a conventional HDD. Until SSDs have made it to consoles, it seems that no one has cared, but now they have almost shamanic capabilities.

The ability to stream content at extreme speeds allows developers to create denser and more detailed environments, changing the way we think about streaming content. It's so shocking that we've rewritten our input and output subsystems on the Unreal Engine with the PlayStation 5 in mind.

The PlayStation 5 provides a huge leap in computing performance and graphics quality, but its storage architecture is also truly special.

To date the potential of SSDs was not being exploited by game developers. With the PlayStation 5's SSD, now game makers seem to have focused on taking advantage of the capabilities. This was not done on PC, but in the end, what it will do is reduce load times. It seems that having three different platforms with SSDs would be worth optimizing to get more potential out of them.

Although everything seems to be a smokescreen to hide the shortcomings of the console. The graphics of the Sony console and the Microsoft console would be much more discreet than expected. It seems that in the end none will offer 4K @ 60FPS and we will see what kind of Ray Tracing it supports.
