Overview
Epic Games interviews are C++-heavy and performance-obsessed. Building Unreal Engine and Fortnite means every engineer needs to think about memory, frame budgets, and real-time networking. With 30% hard problems, the bar is higher than most gaming companies. System design questions involve game engine architecture, asset pipelines, and real-time multiplayer networking. If you don't have game engine experience, prepare to discuss performance-critical systems from your domain.
