Welcome! If you’re looking for a modular, flexible, and fully production-ready menu system for Unreal Engine, you’re in the right place.

Ultimate Menu System is designed to be your game’s front-end backbone — whether you’re working on a single-player campaign, a multiplayer shooter, or a scalable template for future projects. With built-in support for save/load, multiplayer hosting, tabbed panels, and custom transitions, this system puts everything in your control — while staying 100% Blueprint-friendly.

Let’s take a quick look at what the system does and how it’s structured.

What Is It?

Ultimate Menu System is a menu and UI framework built for UE4 and UE5 that supports:

• Single-player & multiplayer support
• Dynamic camera transitions in menu levels
• Optimized streaming-safe loading screens
• Save/load slot management
• Tabbed menu panels
• UI input for mouse, keyboard, and gamepad
• Widget pooling to eliminate runtime hitches
• Expandable menu logic via Blueprint interfaces

Who Is It For?

Whether you’re a:

• Solo developer looking for a plug-and-play solution
• Blueprint-focused team building a custom game framework
• Advanced dev working on a multiplayer system
• Studio shipping UI-heavy titles

…this system is built to drop into your pipeline with minimal work — and maximum scalability.

Key Design Goals

• Dynamic by default — Everything is controlled through exposed variables and functions. No hardcoded widget links.
• Optimized for performance — One-time loads, widget pooling, clean transitions.
• Structured around UX flow — Tabs, return stacks, loading gates, visual feedback.
• Expandable through interfaces — No class dependencies or event spaghetti. Add your own panels and states freely.

What’s Included?

Here’s what you’ll get out of the box:

• Ready-to-use widgets for:
  
  • Main menu
  • Pause menu
  • Settings panel
  • Save/load slots
  • Host/join game
• GameInstance logic for level management and multiplayer
• PlayerController interfaces for universal menu triggers
• Blueprint helper functions for menu loading, input focus, save, and more
• A working demo to test immediately

Project Compatibility

• Unreal Engine 4.26 – 4.27
• Unreal Engine 5.0 – 5.4+
• 100% Blueprint-based
• Compatible with both traditional and Enhanced Input setups
• Works with listen-server multiplayer (Steam/EOS can be added easily)

This documentation is divided into focused, easy-to-navigate sections. You can read through them in order, or jump to the part you need.
