More control over the experience

Epic’s September 17 ecosystem update adds punching and shoving through the Unarmed weapon in first- and third-person experiences. The Channel API lets creators organize voice and text communication, including who can communicate and when.

Build and test faster

Widget previews now support interaction and animation directly in the editor. The update also adds the Stone Sanctum set and expands movement-device limits. These tools apply to creator experiences.
