Today, Open 3D Foundation (O3DF) announces the availability of the Open 3D Engine (O3DE) 25.10 release. This release is a huge milestone for the Open 3D Engine community. It has more than 100 bug fixes, performance enhancements, and some of the systems were overhauled to improve usability and user experience. This release is another example of how our developers across the globe collaborate to advance open source 3D development.
General
A major highlight of the 25.10 release is the reengineered installation process. Installation now features better reporting, reduced download dependency errors, and no longer attempts to uninstall itself.
This allows users to manually install dependencies if needed. Other important changes include:
- A more efficient build process.
- An improved debugging experience (up to 50% reduction in editor memory usage, faster build times when debugging, and a many fold decrease in iteration time, from minutes to seconds).
- Added compatibility with the C++ 20 standard.
- A more dependable asset processor that detects dependencies and is better optimized for performance.
Take a look below at what’s possible with in-engine images from MadWorld, a beta game developed by Carbonated. Built with O3DE, MadWorld showcases how teams are already putting 25.10 features to the test in production environments.

Simulations and Robotics
The 25.10 release has an increased variety of frameworks that can be used with O3DE simulations. Additionally, O3DE’s robotics components have been split out from the ROS2 gem, offering users better flexibility in how to use these components. Parts of the ROS2 gem have been refactored to improve the user experience for the O3DE community.
Celebrating Our Contributors Behind This Release
Overall, we’re excited for the community to enjoy all of the bug fixes and optimizations packed into this release – both mentioned here and many more! Thank you to everyone who contributed – as this would have not been possible without you! Your passion, collaboration and leadership has made O3DE what it is today.
