Epic & NVIDIA Bring Unreal Engine 4 To Mobile
Posted on September 3, 2013 at 5:20 am
At the SIGGRAPH tech conference, Epic Games showed off its Unreal Engine 4 on NVIDIA’s next-generation Logan mobile GPU.
The Logan processor features Kepler GPU architecture that’s featured in PCs today, and which Epic has used for its previous Unreal Engine 4 demos just like the Infiltrator one shown above.
Also, the SIGGRAPH demo ran on OpenGL 4.3 – a feature set that Tim Sweeney, Epic CEO and technical director, says “brings to mobile devices an analogous high-end graphics hardware capabilities exposed via DirectX 11 on PC games and on next-generation consoles.”

Our Take
I’m not a tech expert, but you do not have to be to determine the possibility of mobile once you combine Epic’s engine with an impressive GPU and tools. Epic defined this console generation with the industry’s wide usage of Unreal Engine 3, and if Unreal Engine 4 is simply as adopted and Logan is that this capable, shall we see some unbelievable-looking mobile games coming our way.
