Introduction

Homeworld 3, the highly anticipated sequel developed by Blackbird Interactive and published by Gearbox Publishing, propels players into a mesmerizing interstellar odyssey. Thanks to a 3D strategy view, it promises breathtaking visuals and immersive gameplay. As players command fleets across the vast expanse of space, they’ll navigate through detailed environments and engage in epic battles that push the limits of strategic prowess.

Homeworld 3 uses Epic’s Unreal Engine 4, which is a huge improvement over the in-house engine used for Homeworld 2. While the engine is not the newest Unreal Engine 5, you still get support for DirectX 12 with optional ray tracing.

In terms of upscalers, almost everything is included. There’s support for NVIDIA DLSS 2 Super Resolution, AMD FSR 2 Super Resolution and Intel XeSS. Frame Generation isn’t available.
