BBC used Epic Games’ Unreal Engine to create the entire studio.Instead of flying its various presenters out to Tokyo, the BBC used the same engine as Fortnite to create a variety of studio set-ups.

From fish swimming around the garden to the views of the Tokyo skyline, almost everything viewers saw on screen was rendered in the game engine.“A lot of people assumed we were actually live from Tokyo but because of the pandemic, the obvious travel restrictions and the uncertainty that came with all that, we’ve done things slightly differently,” said Dan Walker in a behind the scenes tour of the Olympics studio, as found by Nintendolife.He then revealed the whole thing was actually broadcast from Salford.
