🔄 SteamCore vs SteamCore PRO

SteamCore PRO Advantages:

• Uses its own custom Online Subsystem (no dependency on Unreal’s built-in system)

• Includes the latest Steamworks SDK (currently version 1.61)

• Multiplayer sessions are not region-locked

• Supports friend invites to sessions and games

• Includes dedicated and listen server authentication (game ownership verification)

• Connect to dedicated servers via IP and listen servers via P2P relay — all with the same configuration

• Only PRO will receive new feature updates going forward

SteamCore (Legacy) Limitations:

• Depends on Unreal Engine's built-in Online Subsystem

• Uses an older version of the Steamworks SDK

• Region-locked sessions

• No active feature development (only critical fixes and engine version updates)

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.
