Modern game engines are the invisible powerhouses behind the games you play every day. From stunning open worlds to fast-paced shooters, engines like Unreal Engine, Unity, and Godot handle everything—graphics rendering, physics, animations, sound, and even AI.

In this video, we break down how modern game engines actually work, what makes each one unique, and why they’re the backbone of every game you love.
