Is there a way to use a newer plug-in in an old version of Unreal?

I am using Unreal 4.23 for a project, and want to add a plugin for it. However, plugins seem to only go back to Unreal 4.27. Is there a way to use new plugins in older version of Unreal? Or are there old 4.23 plugin somewhere that I can find and search through?

Hi Queso_berry,

There will probably be compile errors as there’s quite a lot of difference between version 4.23 and later versions of 4 and UE5. Also, content such as blueprints won’t survive going back versions.

Often you can reach out to plugin developers and ask if they can support, or have copies for an earlier version.
