Optimizing Next-Gen Mobile Features in Unreal Engine | Unreal Fest Chicago 2026

Developing for mobile means battling finite resources. This talk recorded at Unreal Fest Chicago 2026 presents a playbook for achieving maximum performance with your Unreal Engine mobile game—all while using powerful features in Unreal Engine 5 including the MetaHuman framework, the Procedural Content Generation (PCG) framework, Substrate, improved animation systems, and multipass deferred rendering, to name a few.

We progress through many levels of optimization, each targeting efficient management of CPU scheduling, GPU draw calls, and memory footprint on mobile.
