# Unreal Engine Version Support

General Goal: To provide a transparent overview of which Unreal Engine versions are natively supported, deprecated, or coming soon on the Arcware Cloud platform. This page helps you plan your project development and upgrades to ensure seamless compatibility with our cloud streaming infrastructure.

### Support Categories Explained

#### 🚀 Active Support (Recommended)

These versions are fully optimized and continuously tested on Arcware Cloud servers. We guarantee full compatibility with our WebSDK, templates, and performance optimizations. We highly recommend starting all new projects on one of these versions.

#### ⚠️ Deprecated Support (End of Life)

Deprecated versions are legacy releases that will soon phase out of our active support cycle.

* What this means: While existing packaged projects may continue to stream, we will no longer release template updates, bug fixes, or dedicated technical support for these versions.
* Our recommendation: If your project is currently on 4.27 or 5.0.3, we strongly suggest migrating your assets and logic to UE 5.6 or higher for the best streaming experience.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.arcware.cloud/unreal-engine-setup/unreal-engine-version-support.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
