Add projects faster with a simple drag and drop flow. Drop a project.godot file, or many at once,
and watch them appear with a live progress indicator. You can also opt into prerelease
updates from Preferences to try beta builds early, macOS users will see a refreshed icon
tuned for macOS 26, and Linux builds now ship as deb and rpm starting with 1.8.0.
Godot Launcher 1.7.0 lands today as a focused patch release. It brings native Windows ARM64 packages, a quick way to refresh cached editor downloads, and a sturdier migration system that keeps configs tidy whenever we ship under-the-hood changes. No shiny UI shifts, just the boring reliability work that keeps launches smooth.
Godot Launcher 1.6.0 keeps your projects and tools in lockstep. Automatic editor syncing now updates VS Code and Godot settings whenever you import a project or switch releases, while smarter validation catches disappearing installs before they interrupt your day. You can also toggle VS Code integration and bootstrap Git straight from a project’s overflow menu, so getting started (or recovering from a tooling change) takes just a few clicks.
Godot Launcher 1.5.0 leans into internationalisation, making the launcher accessible to more developers from the moment they open the app. You now get an auto-detected interface language out of the box, plus a dedicated language picker that keeps the UI, native menus, and tray in sync across platforms.
The Godot Launcher just got a public roadmap. Here's why it matters and how you can follow along.
Hey everyone, Paulskii here 👋
I'm one of the volunteers on the Godot Launcher project, and I had the chance to design the logo for it. Just wanted to share a bit of the process and how it came together.
With the release of Godot 4.4, the editor now remembers the last window size and position. This small but useful improvement opens the door for a more flexible way to launch Godot projects, and the Godot Launcher 1.2.0 update supports it.
This release introduces a small but helpful quality-of-life feature for developers using Visual Studio Code. When creating a new Godot project with the Setup Visual Studio Code as Text Editor setting enabled, the launcher now automatically configures VSCode to hide Godot’s autogenerated .gd.uid files by
As someone who loves making games, fresh ideas and mechanics frequently pop into my head. The challenge? Quickly testing these new ideas in isolation is part of how I approach prototyping in Godot. For example, I might want to experiment with a unique inventory system separately first. This approach lets me see if the idea enhances my main project without cluttering or complicating it. It also forces me to design systems that are reusable from the get-go.
