Hi everyone,
I’m currently using Unreal Engine 4.27.2 and would like to work with Visual Studio 2026 instead of VS 2022. According to the official documentation, UE4 officially supports Visual Studio up to version 2022.
Is there a way to make UE 4.27.2 compatible with VS 2026? What exactly is preventing compatibility — is it the build toolchain, project files, or something else?
I’d prefer not to install and maintain two versions of Visual Studio on my machine, as it takes up a lot of space. Has anyone successfully set this up? Are there any known workarounds or patches?
Also, does anyone know if Epic plans to release a minor update for UE4 that would add official support for Visual Studio 2026?
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
