The Rider 2026.2 Release Candidate is ready for you to try.
This upcoming release opens the IDE’s own intelligence to your AI coding agents, brings GitHub Copilot in natively, and delivers a wave of performance gains across both .NET and game development. Rider 2026.2 makes debugger launch and branch switching noticeably faster, speeds up Unreal Engine indexing, and expands game development support with new project templates and professional Godot tooling.
If you’d like to explore what’s coming, you can download the RC build right now:
Agent skills that connect AI agents to Rider’s own intelligence – coverage data, profiler, and code analysis – for more accurate results and better code quality.
Support for official Microsoft .NET, Aspire, and Azure Agent Skills directly from the IDE.
Intention previews to see quick-fix and context-action changes before applying them.
New Game Development category in the New Project dialog, with ready-made Godot and CMake templates plus preconfigured build settings and run configurations.
Better UE navigation: UInterface implementation tracking and Gameplay Tag usages surfaced in Blueprints via Code Vision and Find Usages.
Professional Godot support: configurable GDScript formatter, drag scene nodes into code, Autoload/UID resolution, and the official Rider integration addon on the Godot Asset Store.
