In response to an X post by UEFN developer Warforge, Tim Sweeney stated that Verse is not coming to Unreal Engine 5 in 2024. Perhaps more intriguing, Tim also offered a rare glimpse into his vision for Unreal Engine 6.
For now, it seems, Tim will be ready to increase the version number when UE5 supports not only Verse, but the ability to more readily contribute to an ecosystem of Fortnite-like experiences, ushered in by new standards and technologies as yet seen.
