share of recent supply

The Unreal asset marketplace now spans 79,792 listings from 9,869 sellers, and it keeps compounding — the catalogue grows far faster than buyer attention. New releases have decisively moved to UE5, which accounts for 93.2% of recent supply, while a proven UE4 back-catalogue lingers. The median price holds at $19.99, with just 3.1% of listings free.

The throughline across every panel below is the same: demand inverts supply. More than half the store sits in a single category, the seller base keeps widening rather than consolidating, and the thinnest categories are the ones buyers ask about most.

Everything here is drawn from the MythicLemon Marketplace Index and recomputed each reporting period. Catalogue, pricing and engine figures are complete through May 2026; buyer-demand figures are complete through September 2024 and shown for reference.
