Unreal Engine

Each release of the Unreal Wwise plug-in is customized for certain versions of the Unreal Engine. Be sure to use one of the supported versions of the Unreal Engine, as indicated in Release Notes 2023.1.8

Unreal Project Defaults

The Wwise Unreal Integration does not support Blueprint-only Unreal projects because the Wwise Integration plug-in is fully written in C++ and must be compiled. Therefore, during project creation you must select the C++ Project Default. If you accidentally created a Blueprint-only project or are using an existing Blueprint-only project, you can convert it to a C++ project by adding a C++ class to it.

See Creating a New Project for more information about Unreal project creation and Project Defaults.

Wwise

This plug-in is based on Wwise 2023.1.8 build 8601. Although it is possible to use a different version of the Wwise SDK, modifications to the plug-in code might be necessary.

Platforms

This plug-in has been tested on Windows, Mac, Linux, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Nintendo Switch, Android, iOS, and tvOS. Modifications might be required to target other platforms.

To facilitate cross-platform development, install the Windows and Mac Wwise SDKs before you install the Unreal Wwise plug-in.
