===CryEngine (3.6–4)===
On August 21, 2013, Crytek rebranded CryEngine (starting from version 3.6.0) to simply "CryEngine", and announced that their next CryEngine would not be advertised with a version number. The reason for this decision was the claim that this new engine bears almost no similarity to previous CryEngine versions. However, the development kits available to licensees still use version numbers.<ref name="Release Notes">{{cite web |title=Public Release Notes |publisher=Crytek |url=http://docs.cryengine.com/display/SDKDOC1/Public+Release+Notes |access-date=2015-03-15 |archive-date=2018-05-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180519100200/http://docs.cryengine.com/display/SDKDOC1/Public+Release+Notes |url-status=live }}</ref> The new CryEngine version adds support for [[Linux]]<ref name="linux_support">{{cite web|url=http://www.crytek.com/news/conference-attendees-can-also-see-a-brand-new-mobile-game-extra-engine-updates-and-much-more-at-crytek-s-booth|title=CRYENGINE adds Linux Support|date=2014-03-11|access-date=2014-03-11|publisher=[[Crytek]]|archive-date=2021-01-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210113031414/https://www.crytek.com/news/conference-attendees-can-also-see-a-brand-new-mobile-game-extra-engine-updates-and-much-more-at-crytek-s-booth|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="linux_time">{{cite magazine|last=Peckham|first=Matt|title=Crytek Adding Linux Support for CryEngine Bodes Well for Steam OS|url=https://time.com/22043/crytek-adding-linux-support-for-cryengine-bodes-well-for-steam-os/|magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]|access-date=2014-08-13|location=US|date=2014-03-12|archive-date=2019-07-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190713140819/https://time.com/22043/crytek-adding-linux-support-for-cryengine-bodes-well-for-steam-os/|url-status=live}}</ref> and consoles such as the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Wii U.<ref>{{cite web|last=Makuch|first=Eddie|title=New CryEngine revealed|url=http://gamespot.com/gamescom/new-cryengine-revealed-6413371/|publisher=Gamespot|access-date=March 13, 2015|date=August 21, 2013|archive-date=September 25, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130925114245/http://www.gamespot.com/gamescom/new-cryengine-revealed-6413371|url-status=live}}</ref> Subsequent appearances at events have also featured the use of CryEngine on virtual reality systems, at GDC 2015 Crytek brought a demonstration 'Back To Dinosaur Island' to the event to showcase such.<ref name="vrfocus-cryengine">{{cite web|last=Eva|first=Kevin|title=Crytek Unveils CryEngine Updates, Back To Dinosaur Island Demo|url=http://vrfocus.com/archives/12457/crytek-unveils-cryengine-updates-return-dinosaur-island-vr-demo/|publisher=VRFocus|access-date=4 March 2015|archive-date=4 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304063840/http://vrfocus.com/archives/12457/crytek-unveils-cryengine-updates-return-dinosaur-island-vr-demo/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
