[Announcement] MakeCode Arcade 2026 release is live!

Hey folks!

We here on the MakeCode team are pleased to announce that the new version of MakeCode Arcade just went live! You can find all the details of what’s new in the official blog post here:

But here are some highlights:

  • An all new share experience! You can now include a project description with your game when you share it
  • A gallery in the Tilemap editor! Check out some prebuilt examples in the gallery that show you how to use our builtin tilesets!
  • A new unfollow block in the Sprites category!
  • A complete rework of the music/sound pipeline! Now there should be way fewer bugs when playing songs or sound effects

Please give it a shot! If you run into any bugs, please let us know here or on our github at https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-arcade/issues
