UnrealSharp

UnrealSharp

UnrealSharp is a free, open-source plugin for writing Unreal Engine 5 games in C# on top of .NET 10.

Workflow Showcase

Features

• Unreal Engine API in C#: Derive from any UClass. Implement Actors, ActorComponents, and more in C# with access to the Unreal Engine API.
• Generated bindings: The C# API is automatically generated from all reflected C++ code. This includes the engine, plugins, and your own project, so any new reflected types or members are immediately available for use in C#.
• Hot reload: Recompile and reload C# code without restarting the editor.
• Full .NET ecosystem: Pull in any NuGet package you need.
• MIT licensed

Supported platforms

Prerequisites

• Unreal Engine 5.6 - 5.8
• .NET 10.0.5 or newer
• A C++ project (strongly recommended, pure Blueprint projects work but are harder to support)

Special Thanks

I'd like to give a huge shoutout to MonoUE (Sadly abandoned :( ) for the great resource for integrating C# into Unreal Engine. Some of the systems are modified versions of their integration, and it's been a real time saver.
