What Changed
1. Migration to Unreal Engine 5

- Ability to create and manage multiple characters within a single account.

4. Updated interface

- Redesigned UI, more convenient for navigation and resource management.

5. Save migration

- Saves from the Unreal Engine 4 version can be transferred to the new platform without loss of progress.

Release History
- The original Conan Exiles was released May 8, 2018 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

- In June 2021 the game appeared on Xbox Series X/S.
