Whats the difference between SteamCore and SteamCore PRO?

SteamCore PRO features it's own Online Subsystem and is not locked to the Online Subsystem included with Unreal Engine, this allows for more customizability and flexibility without having to modify engine source code
PRO includes the latest Steamworks SDK version. (Currently 1.57)
PRO sessions are not region locked
Invite friends to your game/multiplayer sessions with PRO
Dedicated Server and Listen Server Authentication/Game ownership verification
PRO: Connect to dedicated servers via IP and listen servers via P2P relay network using the same configuration, no need for different game configurations.
PRO version is the only version that will be recieving new feature updates.
The regular SteamCore was released many years ago and is considered feature complete. It will no longer be receiving new feature updates, only critical engine updates and bug fixes.

Supported Engine Versions

Epic does not allow plugin updates for older engine versions, this means only the 3 latest engine versions are supported. Older engine versions will have an older and outdated version of the plugin.
If you need support for older engine versions you can purchase the plugin on Gumroad.com.
It's also possible to obtain Source Control access to plugin source code through Gumroad.

Notes: To use Steamworks Services you'll have to use the Steamworks documentation. The plugin is not going to teach you how to use Steamworks and it's services besides what's currently available in the plugins documentation and examples. You are welcome to join the Discord server and ask the community for tips but should not expect or demand anyone to answer.

Additional Notes

Notes: You cannot combine this with other Steam Plugins, you must disable all Steam plugins that are included with the engine. (SteamVR, SteamSockets, etc).
Notes: You cannot upgrade from SteamCore to SteamCore PRO as the PRO version uses a completely different system and will break all your SteamCore blueprint references. You'll have to replace all your SteamCore blueprint nodes with nodes from the PRO version.
Notes: This plugin is not created/provided by Valve.
