Conan Exiles Enhanced is now live on Steam as a free Unreal Engine 5 upgrade for existing owners, delivering major technical and visual improvements.

The update migrates the game to Unreal Engine 5, boosting visuals, lighting, character and environment detail, effects, performance, UI, and quality-of-life improvements.

Compared with the previous Unreal Engine 4 version, the UE5 makeover significantly enhances visuals, lighting, environments, and character rendering.

If players have Crom Coins left, Funcom suggests spending them before migrating to the Enhanced version.

Install size drops from about 120 GB to around 40 GB, freeing up storage and improving efficiency.

Isle of Siptah remains a separate purchase, but cross-map travel is enabled for owners, expanding multiplayer server capabilities and scale.

For the first time, players can have multiple characters per account, allowing new fresh characters alongside existing ones.

Funcom aims for 60 FPS on most PC settings and promises strong Steam Deck performance, covering both desktop and handheld play.

Preparation steps include backing up saves, using the transfer tool for Isle of Siptah players, ensuring sufficient temporary storage, verifying Isle of Siptah ownership, and considering starting a new character to enjoy the Enhanced visuals.

The upgrade is currently Steam-exclusive with no announced plans to bring it to consoles or other storefronts, though future platform possibilities are being evaluated.

The Enhanced Edition introduces a new UI, unifies The Exiled Lands and The Isle of Siptah into a connected world, and is free for existing players.

The two main maps are merged into a single connected world, with unified multiplayer servers; Isle of Siptah remains accessible via DLC, but bases on Siptah cannot be preserved due to coordinate changes.
