Update 5.6.251
Improvements
- All premium accounts can now access Cloud project backups (also called “Version history”):
- Silver accounts can open saves from the past 2 days,
- Gold accounts can open saves from the past 5 days,
- A Pro account can access unlimited versions (like previously).
- Properties and effects of layers are now shown in the side panel when selected. This allows to quickly edit properties, notably effect properties. When the 3D editor is activated, the result are visible in real-time, which is useful to tweak lighting, shadows and other effects. This also work for layer 2D effects!

Important news if you haven’t seen yet:
(Copy and Pasted from email newsletter)
GDevelop premium subscription prices will increase this Monday.
Hello GDevelop Users,
Quick heads-up: GDevelop premium subscription prices on Silver, Gold and Pro will increase by 20% this Monday January 12th 2026. If you’re already subscribed before this date, nothing changes for you: your price stays the same.
The GDevelop company uses these subscriptions to maintain and improve the game engine and its features, as well as to host our online tools and services.
The cost of running and hosting GDevelop’s online services and infrastructure has increased over time, so we’re raising the price of new subscriptions to reflect those costs.
In 2026:
If you already have an active premium account:
You don’t need to take any action, just keep your subscription active.
Your current price won’t change while you remain a subscriber. Thanks for supporting us! 
If you’re not subscribed yet (or you’re planning to resubscribe/upgrade):
Start a monthly or yearly subscription before the end of Sunday, the 11th of January, and you’ll keep today’s price for as long as your subscription stays active!
Lock today’s price and keep it!
What do you guys think of this? 20% is a pretty big jump, maybe they could increase the number of free credits you get each month?

On one hand I get it, the costs of servers and cloud services are going up. On the other hand people are strapped for cash and I think it’ll drive more people to Godot. I also think a 20 percent jump is a bit much, especially for the higher tiers.

Yep.
In my opinion (as a user who hasn’t purchased the subscriptions) I feel like the price increase is fair as long as they keep adding features to the subscription.
At the moment, I feel like the free version is good enough for me, so I’m happy that GDevelop isn’t paywalling very many features.
