06 / FEATURE STATUS
Released, Beta, Experimental: the distinction belongs next to the feature. These labels are sourced to Epic's UE5.8 announcement, not a live roadmap scrape.
Roadmap / Source checked
Epic's UE5.8 announcement identifies MegaLights, Live Link Hub and Movie Render Graph as Production-Ready. It identifies Control Rig Physics as Beta and Direct Mesh Controls as Experimental.
Those labels belong to that release announcement. They are not guarantees for a particular project or device. Consult the corresponding release notes and evaluate a separate project copy before adopting a new feature.
| Feature | Published label | Review question |
|---|---|---|
| MegaLights | Production-Ready | Does it fit the representative lighting budget? |
| Live Link Hub | Production-Ready | Is the capture chain tested end to end? |
| Movie Render Graph | Production-Ready | Can the output be reproduced? |
| Control Rig Physics | Beta | What is the fallback rig? |
| Direct Mesh Controls | Experimental | Can the experiment stay isolated? |
