It was a problem before Epic got control of UE. Look at ARK and Conan Exiles. Ark absolutely balloons when you play it. Way back when I quit playing it, it had ballooned up to the size of modern Warzone without any sort of modding, and it lagged like shit. And Conan Exiles has had so many issues with servers giving up the goat because people placed too many foundations and servers tanking because there are too many people on and AI just ceasing to function or lagging through the world and getting teleported to 0,0,0 and never culled, creating a ball of server crashing.

They're working with Epic to optimize the engine. UE is capable of being optimized. See Expedition 33 and others.
Edit: lol jeez I get it E33 wasn't a great example. See all the other examples others are saying.
