The improvement of Unreal Engine 5 can be described as a large amount, such as the Lumen (fully dynamic global lighting solution) mentioned in the previous promotional video, only need to create and edit the light source in the editor, you can directly feel the final lighting of the game at runtime in the scene.
Another important feature is Nanite (virtualized micro-polygon geometry system), which can directly import photographic test scan data, and can also import film-quality art material composed of tens of thousands of polygons, maintaining a real-time frame rate without any obvious distortion, I believe that in future games, the model fineness will reach a higher level.
In addition to the two key features above, UE5 has built-in character and animation tools, in-editor modeling, UV editing and baking, as well as enhancements to the editor's user interface and workflow, a fully programmatic audio engine, a path-tracker, and more new and improved features that can be viewed on the Epic website.
