I've been checking out Photon and had a look at the Unreal Engine documentation page here: https://doc.photonengine.com/en-US/realtime/current/getting-started/unreal-engine

It mentions compatibility with UE4, I'm wondering if compatibility with UE5 is implemented or planned as well?

Thanks!

Hi @Sairenz.

Yes, the Photon C++ Client SDKs themselves and even the guide at your link and the demo that it links to are all perfectly compatible to UE5.
