With today's update 4.1, Unreal Engine 4 is available to developers at no additional charge on PS4 and Xbox One. Epic is running Unreal Engine 4 as asubscription-based service (http://www.joystiq.com/2014/03/19/unreal-engine-4-available-for-all-in-new-subscription-model/), for $19 a month and 5 percent of gross revenue from any commercial product made with the engine.

Unreal Engine 4 already runs on PS4 and Xbox One, but today's update makes it easier for new developers to secure a license on these consoles. Microsoft notes (http://news.xbox.com/2014/04/games-unreal-engine-id-xbox) that now its independent developers in the ID@Xbox program can access Unreal Engine 4. Developers must still register with Sony and Microsoft; see the rundown of registration steps here (https://www.unrealengine.com/blog/playstation-4-and-xbox-one-now-supported).

With update 4.1, Unreal Engine 4 now supports previous- and current-gen consoles, PC, Mac, SteamOS, Linux, iOS, Android, Oculus Rift and Project Morpheus.
