Highlights​

  • [Unreal] Support for Unreal Engine 5.2 added to the Game SDK!
  • [App Editor] Introduced the launcher's brand name and icon configuration menu. Admins are now able to personalize the launcher to match their branding. This requires a launcher rebuild

  • [IAM] Added a new addition to the 'IAM Input Validations' menu, called 'Avatar Images'.

    • Update the additional data only if the stat value changes are accepted. This is only applied on MAX and MIN update strategies.
  • [UGC] UGC now supports filtering UGC Channel using the UGC channel name.
  • [Admin Portal] UX improvement in Game Record creation. It now shows a warning for existing key on current record.

    • API endpoint: /social/apidocs/#/UserStatistic/publicQueryUserStatItems_2
