Godot 4.5 beta 4
It’s been a bit since our last snapshot, as our team has been quite busy knocking out some critical release-blocker and immediate-blocker issues. Thankfully, we’re back at the point where we can comfortably deliver our latest 4.5 pre-release candidate. As a refresher: the beta period means that the project has entered feature freeze, so the only changes you’ll be seeing are bugfixes and addressing regressions.
Jump to the Downloads section, and give it a spin right now, or continue reading to learn more about improvements in this release. You can also try the Web editor, the XR editor, or the Android editor for this release. If you are interested in the latter, please request to join our testing group to get access to pre-release builds.
