Platform Tools

Don't see the platform you're looking for in this section, or can't access the listed resources? This may be because:

Shipping games for your platform doesn't require any platform-specific documentation. For example, this is the case for Windows and Mac desktops.
Your platform is new to Unreal Engine, or support for it is in an Experimental or Beta state. In this case, we may still be changing the code frequently, or we may be in the process of compiling specific guidance.
Access to your platform is restricted to users who have registered developer accounts with the third-party provider of that platform. For example, this is the case for consoles and platforms made by Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, and other partners.

Depending on the platform, additional documentation or guidance may be available in the Unreal Developer Network support site, or as a downloadable archive in the section of the Unreal Engine Forums that is dedicated to your platform.

If you don't have access to these resources, first register a developer account with the third party vendor. Then contact your Epic Games account manager if you have one, or fill out and submit the Console Development Request form for Unreal Engine if you don't. Epic will contact you with a formal agreement to digitally sign. Once this is approved, you will receive instructions on how to access source code, binaries, and additional instructions for your platform.
