Epic Games makes Unreal Engine 4 free for academic use

The Unreal Engine is one of the most important tools used by programmers and artists in the development of video games. As a game engine, it makes it easier to bring games to personal computers, game consoles, smartphones and other devices. It is a must for people to learn to use UE, as well as other engines, to work in the game industry. And now, Epic Games is making it easier for people teaching and studying the game engine in various fields to master it.

Starting today, college faculty and students across the US will be able to use Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 4, a game engine used in the development of video games for multiple platforms, free of charge. Teachers and administrators can fill out a form in the Education page of the Unreal Engine website to find out if they are eligible for free access. Students can then ask teachers and admins for the free use of UE4.
