Game Studio

Stride comes with a robust toolchain that enables you to intuitively and efficiently create, manage and modify all assets of your game.

The suite of editors simplify and automate common development workflows. Its nested prefab and archetype systems scale along all editors and assets.

Stride Game Studio has also been designed so that it can be extended easily. A plug-in system to help users extend the Game Studio is coming soon!

Graphics compositor

Customize the rendering pipeline of your game in a visual way using building blocks. Future versions will even allow you to edit the building blocks themselves.

Nested prefabs

Edit a prefab and every instance updates automatically, saving hours of work. You can even edit prefabs inside other prefabs.

UI editor

Build the UI of your game visually and intuitively. Create UI libraries and leverage the prefab system to automatically update all your UI elements' design.

Scene editor

Create your game scenes and levels simply by dragging and dropping your objects from the asset view to the desired places.

Sprite editor

Create and edit sprites visually in the editor. Stride automatically creates optimized atlases from your sprite sheets.

Curve editor

Intuitively animate the value of your properties by creating animation curves directly in the editor.

Advanced graphics

With Stride, there's no need to be a rendering expert to make great-looking games. The engine does the work for you, so you can focus on the important stuff.

Stride's PBR materials, light probes, post effects, multithreading, and next-gen graphics API support deliver realistic graphics with outstanding performance.

The flexible pipeline, accessible low-level APIs, and customizable shaders let you tweak the rendering as much as you need.

PBR materials

Bring your game one step closer to reality with physically-based materials. Create infinite variations of materials by layering them together.

Light probes

Increase graphics realism by adding indirect lighting to static and dynamic objects of your game with our new light probe system.

DirectX 12 and Vulkan

Increase performance of your game thanks to next generation explicit graphics APIs: multi-thread your rendering and reduce driver overhead.

Particles

Add life and realism to your game using the fully integrated particle system. Particles can be edited from the scene editor.

Advanced shader language

Say goodbye to uber shader problems. Split shaders logically with Stride's composition-based shader language, written on top of HLSL.

Post effects

Add photorealistic effects to your game with post-effects. Stride supports all the most common effects such as Depth of Field, Bloom, etc.

Reliable engine

Whether you're indie or AAA, Stride lets you focus on your ideas rather than technical concerns.

It comes with a full set of modules dedicated to editing every part of your game. Each is provided out of the box and integrated into the engine.

Modern C# scripting with shader and script hot reload lets you build prototypes and iterate fast.

C# scripting

Built in C#, Stride gives you access to the low-level APIs, C# 10 (.NET 6) and asynchronous scripting, and comes with a script editor.

Scene streaming

Easily create vast worlds by streaming objects in and out of your scenes. Divide your world into subscenes to avoid editing conflicts.

Physics

Simulate the laws of physics, trigger events and easily detect collisions in your game by using Stride's physics system.

Navigation

Easily and efficiently find paths to move your characters around using navigation meshes. The scene editor automatically update them for you.

Multi-threading

Improve the performance of your game by using a completely multi-threaded engine. Stride does all the arduous work for you in an optimized way.

Animation

Play and blend animations created in 3D modeling tools and animate any property of your game. Storyboard editor coming soon.

VR ready

Stride's clustered forward rendering, with its multisample anti-aliasing, makes it ideal for VR. Enabling VR is as simple as a single click.

Stride uses a single API for every device, with native support for Oculus and HTC Vive.

Stride's HRTF binaural audio greatly improves VR immersion.

VR sample

Stride comes with a VR game sample that shows you how to implement VR gameplay, including environment interaction and teleportation.

Optimized perfomance

Get the best VR performance with clustered forward rendering, single-pass rendering, multi-threading, and next-gen graphics API support.

VR preview

Save valuable time by visualizing and testing VR directly from the scene editor.
