Tick by Tick: How Unreal Engine Simulates Real-World Physics

If you’ve ever wondered what powers the physics engine in Unreal Engine, and what terms like integration, substepping, or async transform really mean, you’re in the right place!

In this article, I will explore Unreal Engine’s physics system — from numerical integration and substepping, to the new asynchronous physics tick. Understanding these mechanisms is essential for building stable and performant simulations.
