With the recent release of Unreal Engine 5.1, you can finally run UE5 on Apple Silicon. Unfortunately to do so you have to build it from source code which is a pain and takes up a ton of space. No worries though, for I've done it for you! I also compared running on a 2021 M1 MacBook Pro Ultra 24 GPU laptop to a 2022 Zephyrus G16 with a 12 Gen Intel CPU and a 3070TI.
