Unreal is chosen when visual fidelity matters, and in India that means a surprising amount of the work sits outside gaming — automotive visualisation, architectural walkthroughs, virtual production and industrial simulation all use it. Roles usually expect C++ alongside Blueprints, which raises the technical bar relative to Unity work and is reflected in the pay. Pune's automotive and engineering services base makes it a more relevant market for this skill than the size of its games industry would suggest.
