Unreal Engine Project Support in Visual Studio

on YouTube ↗10m

" summary

Visual Studio now treats Unreal projects natively: you open project as a folder (no .sln needed), Visual Studio runs Unreal Build Tool to generate targets, and toolbar boxes let you switch and build specific targets, modules, files or plugins. Templates let you add new Unreal Engine item (classes, modules) and auto-update the .uproject. UnrealHeaderTool runs in background for live error highlights, assets and blueprints feed IntelliSense and references, a dropdown lets you attach to Unreal Engine process for debugging, logs stream live, and cooking/packaging via Unreal Automation Tool produces a runnable EXE.
