Crytek Opens CryEngine 3 Licensing To Developers

**MIG-31** · Oct 15, 2009, 07:56 AM

The third major release of Crytek's CryEngine development platform, the company's first natively multiplatform version of the engine, has officially launched and is now available to licensees.

In addition to supporting DirectX 9 and 10 for PC, as well as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles, Crytek claims CryEngine 3 is the first "next-gen-ready" development engine, meaning it has been designed to scale up to the forthcoming game platforms. Crytek has also previously stressed that a major goal with the new engine was to deliver scalability in the other direction as well -- which has allowed it to support current consoles and less-powerful PCs, countering the tech's reputation for high player system requirements.
