Prerequisites:

About 150 hours working in Unreal Engine 5 or completion of a beginner course in game development.
A workstation with the following specifications:

Windows:

OS: Windows 10 64-bit version 1909 revision .1350 or higher, or versions 2004 and 20H2 revision .789 or higher
CPU: Quad-core Intel or AMD, 3 GHz or faster
RAM: 16 GB (32 GB preferred for demanding tasks)
Storage: 256 GB SSD (OS) + 1 TB SDD (Data)
GPU: DirectX 11 or 12 compatible graphics card with the latest drivers
DirectX: 11 or 12

Mac OS:

Operating System: macOS Monterey or later
CPU: Apple Silicon (M1 Pro, M1 Max, M2, or newer) or an Intel i7/i9 processor
RAM: At least 16 GB (32 GB preferred for demanding tasks)
Storage: 512 GB SSD or more (no need for an HDD since Macs typically come with SSD-only configurations)
GPU: Integrated Apple Silicon GPU (M1 Pro/Max/Ultra) or a discrete AMD Radeon GPU if using an older Intel-based Mac

‍Note: Ensure the Mac has sufficient cooling and power capabilities to handle prolonged, intensive UE5 work, which is better managed on desktops like the Mac Studio or high-performance MacBook Pros.
