This release is packed with a number of great new features, but our main focus has been to increase engine stability and fix outstanding issues. Hundreds of reported bugs have been bashed, many new quality of life improvements were added, and virtually every supported platform has received updates. Unreal Engine is designed for incredible VR experiences, and every release it gets better. Epic's "Bullet Train" VR demo is powered by new features in this version, with new rendering optimizations designed specifically for head mounted displays. Mobile gets a nice upgrade in this release too, with new scalability features and support for refraction. Last but not least, great news for programmers: You can now use Visual Studio 2015 for development on Windows. And on Mac, we've revamped our Xcode projects to allow you to work more efficiently. We've also refreshed our target platforms with support for latest SDKs.

  -Enabled on iPhone 5S and above and Android devices such as Nexus 5, Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S6
  -It can be enabled on other devices by setting the r.RefractionQuality render variable in their corresponding Device Profile
Optimized VR Rendering

Your VR games get faster in this release, thanks to new rendering optimizations specifically for head mounted displays. Unreal Engine 4.10 has implemented a new "Hidden and Visible Mesh optimization" to reduce the GPU overhead of VR rendering.
