AGS 2026.6 Release Notes

Highlights​

Steam Multiple Apps Support

  • A namespace can now serve up to two Steam App IDs at the same time. A player who launches either app signs in to the same AGS account, so both apps share one player base, inventory, and progression. Use it for a demo next to the full game, a playtest app before release, or a re-release of an existing title.
  • Support covers Steam login and account linking, Steam in-app purchases (Inventory and Transaction modes), Steam achievements, and Steam lobbies. DLC sync is not affected.
  • The feature is disabled by default. Once enabled, your game client must send the App ID on every login and account linking request, and your game server or Extend app must send it when it unlocks a Steam achievement. A build that does not send the App ID fails to log in. The Unreal Engine Online Subsystem (OSS) sends it for you. Upgrade to the latest AGS SDK and release updated builds for your live app before you enable it.
  • To enable it, turn on Enable Steam multi app IDs in both the Steam login method and Steam IAP configurations, then add your second App ID. For the full setup, see Set up multiple Steam apps in one namespace.

Avoid Recent Opponents during Matchmaking

  • You can now keep players from facing the same people again right after a match. Matchmaking keeps players from a recent match apart for a time you set, and you choose whether this applies to everyone from that match or only to former opponents. Turn it on in any match ruleset under Matchmaking > Match Rulesets in the Admin Portal.

Extend Improvement

  • Extend apps in a studio can now reach each other over the internal network from every game namespace, and those routes are created and removed with the app.

Minor Changes​

Admin Portal​

  • Redesigned Usage and Billing pages with live trial players, add-on charges, free allowance status and time zone support.
  • New Studio Home with a game namespace card, Your Games, Learn AGS and step-by-step Getting Started guidance.
  • Public Cloud sign-up now supports Google and confirms the email with a code before signing the user in.
  • Dark theme is now available from the theme toggle.
  • Steam login and Steam IAP settings now accept multiple Steam App IDs.
  • Device ban can now be managed on Public Cloud.
  • Reward item pickers can search by name, SKU or item ID.
  • Extend app logs can now be downloaded for past time ranges.
  • Extend pages and Downloads and Resources now point to the AGS CLI instead of the Extend Helper CLI.

  • Development Toolkit is now on by default and adds crash and session views.
  • Removed the product tours and the old onboarding checklist and service overview pages.

Analytics​

  • Connector jobs now expire after a time-to-live.

Challenge​

  • Reward claims now grant rewards together in one transactional fulfillment and fail clearly if no reward can be granted.

Config Migration​

  • Config import and export now carry multiple Steam App IDs for IAM and platform settings.

Extend​

  • Extend app logs for a chosen time range can now be exported as one .log file, Extend app v2 and v3 APIs are now marked deprecated. Use the v5 APIs.

IAM​

  • Device ban is now available on Public Cloud, isolated per studio.

  • Passwordless admins can no longer unlink their last platform login.

Inventory​

  • New item grants now use transactional V3 fulfillment.
  • Bulk consume now returns the details of the consumed items in its response. If you call this API through an auto-generated AGS SDK, the response model has a new name in the latest SDK version, so update any code that references it when you upgrade the SDK.

Lobby​

Login Queue​

  • Changes to login queue configuration are now recorded in the audit log.

  • Public Cloud now refreshes an expired session instead of showing the session expired dialog.
  • Sign-up and invitation forms now follow IAM's display name rules.

Analytics​

  • Connector workers no longer lose data silently or get stuck after a connection failure.

  • Restored the 2xx response schemas missing from the OpenAPI spec.

Config Migration​
