GameMaker Release Notes

Monthly

Released roughly every other month up until the end of 2024, much slower since then. Always intended to be stable, but may have the odd lower-severity issue.

2024.14.3 - 2024.14 releases are October 2025 onwards

2024.13.1 - April 2025

2024.11.0 - November 2024

2024.8.1 - August 2024

2024.6.2 - June 2024

2024.2.0 - February 2024

2023.11.1 - November 2023

2023.8.2 - August 2023

LTS

Long Term Stable means very few new features are ever added and it only gets critical bug fixes each time there is an update (which is very infrequent).

2022.0.3 - November 2024

Beta

Most up-to-date version and released very frequently, so you can get the newest features and fixes ASAP - but accordingly these releases will contain bugs, so please do report any you find!

We only recommend using the latest series of Betas (shown below) - if you need to stay on older Betas for some reason, then we would suggest just using the applicable Monthly instead of your Beta install.

2024.1400.4 - Feb 2026 onwards

GMRT

New runtimes currently in development, which will eventually replace all the “GMS2” targets you can see in the GameMaker IDE - but accordingly these releases will contain bugs and may not support functionality you’re using in your projects, so it’s essential you read the release notes and all setup information before deciding if you want to take part in the GMRT beta and feedback process.

Always use the latest version of GMRT (shown below) in conjunction with the latest Beta release (see above), as you should always have the newest fixes/changes before filing any issues.
