Epic Games is trying make its Unreal Engine into a universal game platform, and there are indications it is working. Today, the studio unveiled that developers have added thousands of tweaks to the engine since the company opened up the platform a few weeks ago.

It’s also shipping Unreal Engine version 4.1, which makes it easier to immediate publish games on Microsoft’s Xbox One and the Sony’s PlayStation 4, in addition to existing platforms such as the PC, Mac, SteamOS, Apple iOS, Linux, HTML5, and Android. Epic is adding the new platforms at no extra cost.
