How to show FPS in Unreal Engine

There is a simple way to show number of FPS inside UE editor:

• Press a ~ button on your keyboard. It is located on top left of keyboard, under Esc key
• Type in: stat FPS Done!

In Unreal Engine 5, it is possible to enable FPS by clicking a checkbox

• Find an eye icon in your editor:
• After clicking the eye icon, go to Viewport Stats -> FPS

What if I want FPS to be visible in development builds, always on start?

In this case, you can create a simple Blueprint, that will run stat FPS command every time when the game starts. This is very useful, for example when you are running game on mobile. Here is the blueprint set up.

• Create this Blueprint and drop it to your scene (or plug this to existing object on your scene).
• Select Actor as Parent class
• Give your Blueprint name, like FpsDisplayer
• Go to Event Graph tab
• Drag a connection from BeginPlay pin, and then type Execture in the search bar. Pick Exectute console command
• Type stat fps in command field
• Compile and save the Blueprint
• Drag the Blueprint into your scene

Done! Now FPS will be displayed in your game development build

• Make sure that there is only one Blueprint on scene with these nodes, otherwise your command might turn on then off again.
