Epic Games pairs Unreal Editor with an LLM-based UX auditor for adaptive HUD design

The auditor analyzes HUD compositions across resolutions and input modes to flag issues like overlapping elements, low contrast for controller view, and ambiguous affordance cues. It also suggests reflows for different aspect ratios and proposes animation timings that maintain clarity during gameplay transitions.

Designers can run the auditor as a batch process across multiple levels and get a prioritized fix list. The system also simulates common player scenarios to test whether critical information remains visible during intense moments, improving overall UX resilience.

Epic emphasizes that the tool is advisory; creative teams retain control and can tune the auditor's sensitivity. Studios building for multiple platforms found the capability useful for catching platform-specific UX regressions early in the pipeline.
