    My apologies for my own confusion! I've been in touch with the development team on this and we are working on updates and expect to continue support. An updated version will be available soon, although I don't have a specific release date available.

      Sure, i mean on GitHub. Does Meta nit make a modified Version of UE for each Version? I cant find 5.6 just all up to 5.5.

      Is it just me, or is this funny?

      CaseyAtMeta: Are you aware that Meta maintains both the Meta XR Plugin and the Unreal Engine 5.6 Meta Quest fork on GitHub? You can’t access the extra Meta Quest functionality in Unreal Engine 5.6 until Meta and Epic collaborate to update the builds that Meta manages. I hope that helps.

      Honestly, at this point, you might as well wait for Unreal Engine 5.6.1.

        Honestly it would be funny if I wasn't so embarrassed. My apologies for not having done my homework. See below for the official word.

  • Yep, if you download the Meta Unreal API download, Unreal 5.6 fails and says the meta sdk is not valid and shows missing components.

  • Today I got a notice on MQDH that I had 7 new downloads available. Many were for a new version of Unreal SDK tools. Yet their release notices and docs still show UE 5.5. The new Meta SDK is now 78.
