Leadwerks Engine 5

It's a big idea.

We want to build a new renderer specifically designed for virtual reality with performance beyond anything you've ever seen.

We're getting rid of the limitations of traditional game engines by going beyond the bounds of 32-bit floating points.

And, as always, we're going to make it easily accessible and super easy to use.

✓ Vulkan, Done Right

✓ Vulkan, Done Right

A revolutionary new architecture enables more immersive VR experiences and boosts performance for all games and simulations.

✓ 64-bit Worlds

✓ 64-bit Worlds

Double floating points allow massive open-world games and to-scale space simulations, with a maximum area big enough to simulate the entire solar system with sub-millimeter precision.

Planetary Scale Terrain
