After months of requests, we're excited to announce that LIV Creator Kit is now available for Unreal Engine in public beta!
What This Means for Unreal Developers
For the first time, Unreal Engine developers can integrate the same powerful in-game camera system that's already being used in hundreds of Unity-based VR games. Whether you're building the next competitive shooter, social VR experience, or story-driven adventure, LCK gives your players the tools to capture and share their best moments.
Fully Functional, Ready to Test
This isn't a proof-of-concept or limited preview—it's a fully functional camera system ready for integration. We're calling it "beta" because we haven't tested every possible game configuration yet, and that's where you come in.
We need developers like you to help us verify compatibility across different:

- Custom game mechanics
