Evolution of Mobile and the Rise of Alternative Mobile Stores | Unreal Fest 2024

Watch this recorded session from Unreal Fest Seattle 2024 in which team members from the Epic Games Store, Aptoide, and Altstore.io discuss the changing landscape for mobile including recent global regulation, emerging trends, and a look at new opportunities for mobile developers.
New laws around the world, like the Digital Markets Act in the European Union, are opening up the mobile app ecosystem to competition and choice. This is creating new opportunities for third-party app stores to launch on mobile and developers to reach consumers in new ways, but mobile gatekeepers still impose friction and fees that stand in the way of competition.
Hear from alternative mobile app store operators on what it’s been like to launch competing stores on iOS and Android devices and what developers need to know about the challenges and opportunities this evolving landscape presents.

The most beautiful thing I have done in my life is to choose unreal engine in 2015. I am happy for all these years that I have been with you and I will continue until the day I die.

If you reintegrate PhysX or improve Chaos (specifically the character movement component or Mover) performance that would go a long way for me - I really would like to use Unreal but had to use Unity because Unreal doesn't have the performance that I need, especially for mobile and systems with the rough equivalent of the PS3's performance. Your renderer isn't customizable enough, doesn't expose enough lighting information, and the experience of coding custom shaders in a custom shader node with all of the limitations of that node are a huge burden. I want a scaling solution that is performant and customizable, and with a reasonable amount of focus put towards supporting performance and optimization, including offline rendering features and documentation. I can't fix most of those myself. I also don't know if you plan on resolving any of those - but Unity runs several like-for-like benchmarks better on my midrange tablet than they run on my high end pc on Unreal. And i had to work much harder to squeeze that much uglier looking optimized version out of UE5 5.5 - this is not an older version that we're talking about. We're talking hundreds of moving characters on my tablet at 60 and Unreal can't even make it to that number on my pc without dropping below 60. It's not theoretical, nor a lack of expertise or experience - it's just.. kind of a problem. And honestly I find it so much easier to learn unity and esoteric unity stuff is nowhere near as hidden as the commands for many of Android's optimizations that won't come up as autocompletes or anything - just "some guy" knows about them and posted them somewhere and that's the only source. That's not great. I'm on the C++ side of things and looked heavily into modifying the renderer but went heck it and haven't been thrilled but feel competent and secure in my choice - but I used UE3, I'm a long time user. I don't want to see the end of UE for me - I just need more out of the engine.
