“#PS5: “Big Changes” Will Come From SSD + Unreal Engine 5”
Pete Bottomley from White Paper Games had recently commented that the PS 5’s SSD when combined with Epic’s Unreal Engine 5, will bring “big changes to the level design” in the world of games.

In an interview with GamingBolt, Bottomley commented that with this combination, developers will be enabled to take advantage of the dual approach with PS 5’s ultra-fast SSD and the Unreal Engine 5.

Quicker loading times will mean there is a reduced need to “design features into loading screens along with the streaming of the content at runtime,” he said. This is because of Unreal Engine 5, which “chunks the content under the hood.”

The best look so far is the Unreal Engine 5 tech demo for the PS5, showing us a glimpse of what the next-gen consoles can offer. Unreal Engine developer Epic Games was quick to praise the superfast SSD from Sony. In fact, the SSD was so fast, even more so than high-end equivalents for PC, that Epic Games had to rewrite Unreal Engine 5 in order to take full advantage of the drive!

Nick Penwarden from Epic Games had said that these extreme speeds will allow developers to create much more detailed and denser environments, “changing how we think about streaming content”.
He had also said that the PS 5’s SSD will mean a huge leap in graphics and computing and that the “storage architecture is also truly special.”

While the Xbox Series from Microsoft also has an SSD, it is not as fast as Sony’s. The Xbox has more raw horsepower, but Sony’s SSD has given it the edge over Xbox.
With this information, it is an understatement to state that the next-gen consoles are going to fundamentally change the experience of gaming in the coming years. Even without high-end graphics, just having an SSD can alter the entire development process and the ultimate experience for players.
