UE5 Mobile, Unleashed on Snapdragon: How We Turbocharged 'Neverness to Everness' (Presented by Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.)

This session presents a deep dive into optimizing the UE5 mobile game "Neverness to Everness (NTE)" on devices with Snapdragon platforms. Featuring large-scale open scenes, dynamic lighting, and high-resolution rendering targets, NTE pushes the limits of mobile hardware. We will explore how UE5's mobile rendering pipeline was adapted to better align with the Adreno GPU architecture, with a focus on tile-based rendering efficiency and bandwidth reduction.

Key topics include integrating Adreno Tile Memory Heap into UE5, render pass optimization, and real-world performance results. The session also covers advanced Snapdragon technologies such as Adreno Frame Motion Engine 2.0 (AFME2), Snapdragon Game Super Resolution 2 (SGSR2), and Snapdragon Adaptive Game Configuration (SAGC), highlighting how system-level and GPU-aware strategies can significantly improve frame stability, performance scalability, and power efficiency across a wide range of mobile devices.
