Epic CEO Tim Sweeney 在最新一期 Edge 的采访中透露，该公司在过去三四年里一直与索尼公司合作，为「虚幻引擎 5」带来 Nanite 技术。 在采访中，Sweeney 表示 Epic 和索尼之间的讨论几年前就开始了。“至少三四年前，我们开始和 Mark Cerny 讨论次世代的可能性。”Epic 和索尼之间的对话围绕着这一点展开：游戏硬件中的存储架构限制了开发者在制作游戏时所能做的东西。 PS5 的存储系统引人注目。凭借定制 SSD，PS5 处理游戏数据的速度比 PS4 快 100 倍，并将显著加快加载速度，满足次世代游戏的需求。Sweeney 说，与索尼的合作比与微软的合作时间更长，Epic 团队能够很早就接触到索尼的次世代硬件，这对「虚幻引擎 5」选择在 PS5 上进行技术演示
Epic CEO Tim Sweeney revealed in the latest edge interview that the company has been working with Sony for the past three or four years to bring Nanite technology to "virtual engine 5". In the interview, Sweeney said that the discussion between epic and Sony began a few years ago.

The conversation between epic and Sony revolves around this: the storage architecture in game hardware limits what developers can do when making games. Ps5's storage system is compelling. With customized SSDs, ps5 can process game data 100 times faster than PS4, and will significantly accelerate the loading speed to meet the needs of next generation games. Sweeney said that the cooperation with Sony is longer than that with Microsoft, and the epic team is able to contact Sony's next generation hardware early, which is a technical demonstration of "virtual engine 5" on the ps5
