There are a few known limitations and issues, but before we move on to them, let me briefly share what Rider for Unreal Engine on Linux is capable of. This means, you only need to get the engine itself and install Rider to start working on Linux. For compilation, clang will be used from your Unreal Engine installation for debugging, Rider brings the patched LLDB 13. It generally works for any Linux version that meets both the Rider and Unreal Engine system requirements. Today we are happy to share the first ever Linux build of Rider for Unreal Engine. We started with Rider for Unreal Engine being Windows-only and later added macOS support. With Rider, we’ve always targeted cross-platform development, doing our best to deliver the same user experience and product benefits on all three major platforms. Rider for Unreal Engine is feature rich, fast, and used by many game developers for their work and personal projects on Windows and macOS, and today we have made it available on Linux! Now we are finally planning to release Rider for Unreal Engine as part of our Rider IDE in 2022! This also means that, quite likely, Unreal Engine/Blueprints/C++ support will be enabled during the Rider 2022.1 EAP. More than 38,000 people are registered in the program, and we’ve received extremely positive feedback from them. Rider for Unreal Engine Preview is widely used by game developers around the world.
