Context#

V5 targets a broad launch footprint while preserving per-platform performance, memory, certification, and content-culling requirements.

Decision#

V5 targets Windows, Mac, Linux, PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Switch 2, and iOS at launch. Each platform has a dedicated config directory under V5/ue/Platforms.

Consequences#

  • Platform culling is explicit in config and cook rules.
  • Feature availability must be validated per platform.
  • Any platform change requires a new decision record or phase-cut record.
