The Matrix Awakens Is Available To Download For Free On PS5 And Series X|S

Following recent rumours, The Matrix Awakens has now been officially announced and you can download it right now.

The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal 5 Experience is described as a “boundary-pushing cinematic and real-time tech demo” developed on the UE5. So don’t expect anything more than a glorified demo, but hopefully, it will be a cool experience, nonetheless.

The official blurb reads: “Created by members of the original movie team including Lana Wachowski along with Epic Games and partners, ‘The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience’ is a wild ride into the reality-bending universe of ‘The Matrix’ that features performances by Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss.”

How do we know what is real?
