Release 25.10.1
Version 25.10.1 is a maintenance release designed to improve stability and address several issues identified in the 25.10.0 release. This update focuses on resolving bugs, enhancing performance, and ensuring a smoother experience for all users.
- Git is no longer required when using O3DE installers for Windows and Linux,
- Support for latest Android SDK (with Android Gradle Plugin 8.13),
- Support for Visual Studio 2026,
- Fix crashes when using Diffuse Probe Grid (regression in 25.10),
- ScriptCanvas is temporarily reverted from a standalone application to be again part of the main Editor. This resolves the slowness at startup and other several crashes when authoring visual scripts (regression in 25.10). The new behavior will be restored in the next major release (April/May of 2026) together with the proper fixes, as the stand alone version is the basis for introducing the debugging in Script Canvas.
