Cryengine source code is available on github

The CryEngine engine from the German company Crytek is one of the most popular graphics engines in the video game scene, just like Epic's Unreal Engine. A few months ago Crytek surprised with a new business model for its graphics engine, where they let users pay the amount they want to use CryEngine. Now they want to go one step further and publish the full code of this engine on the GitHub site for anyone to access and download.

CryEngine is increasingly accessible to the public

Crytek has published the CryEngine source code on the Internet to make it easier for developers to better understand the changes implemented from one version to another. It should be clarified that this does not mean that CryEngine becomes an open source engine, All those who decide to use it will have to accept the conditions of use, such as using its graphics engine only for video game development, and not for any other purpose, therefore its use of military projects, scientific programs, architecture, or flight simulators for pilot training, etc. is excluded.

CryEngine V with DirectX 12 and VR support

Unlike other engines that are free such as the Unreal Engine or Unity, Crytek does not ask for royalties or limitations on the commercial distribution of the projects they carry out with CryEngine, obtaining income through training and development for developers with paid, support and the virtual sales platform, how it would be assets, textures, models, animations, etc. Very interesting that you read all the information about DirectX 12.

Crytek recently announced CryEngine V, which comes with native DirectX 12 support and a number of additional features such as virtual reality support.
