The size of the mobile QQ installation package has increased to 879MB! Netizens: Unreal Engine 4 is built in

When smartphones were first introduced, the mobile QQ installation package was only about 10MB. As the software continued to upgrade, the size of the installation package continued to double, constantly challenging consumers' mobile phone memory, storage and performance.

Recently, mobile QQ has been upgraded to version 8.8.55. The Apple App Store shows that the size of the QQ installation package for iOS has reached 879MB.

It is worth mentioning that some netizens analyzed the installation package of the new Android version of QQ and found that it actually has Unreal Engine 4 built in.

So why would a social app be plugged into the Unreal Engine? According to netizens, this may be to render features such as QQ Show.

It is understood that the latest version of QQ has added new super emoticons, improved video call experience, and new "body beauty" functions for shooting.

According to information, Unreal Engine 4 is a game development engine launched by Epic Games. Compared with other engines, Unreal Engine is not only efficient and versatile, but also can directly preview development effects, giving developers stronger capabilities.

Compared with Unity3D, the main advantages of Unreal Engine 4 are excellent picture display, good lighting and physical effects, simple visual programming, complete plug-ins, good support for peripherals such as VR and controllers, and the provision of various game templates.

Currently common games developed based on the Unreal Engine 4 include "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", "Fortnite", "Game for Peace", "Dead by Daylight", "Infinity Blade", etc.
