Epic Games has announced that Unreal Engine royalties are now waived on the first $1 million in-game revenue. This change was announced on May 13, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The welcome change to developers and designers is an increase from the previous cap of $100,000 in-game revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This, of course, means you can download and use the game engine to build games for free as always, except now you do not need to pay royalties until you make the first $1 million in gross revenue. The royalties remain at 5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unreal Engine<\/a> is still 100% royalty-free if you use it to create internal or free projects, or to develop linear content or custom projects for clients, but not for publishing off-the-shelf offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find out more details about Unreal Engine royalties from the official FAQs found here<\/a>. You can also download the engine and get started here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
