UE console plugins?

[versed hearth]

Hey, i had a chance to chat with Bianca during GDC about state of Sentry at the moment.

To my understanding at the very least base version of Sentry has support for current gen consoles, however state of plugins for UE5 was not confirmed at that time.
Could anyone verify whether there are UE5 plugins for PS5/XSX at the moment and if so - what is the pipeline to get access to those?

you're right. We have support for the 3 main consoles. But specificaly from our Unreal Engine SDK that's a WIP.

to get started you could go through the middleware verification process

so we know u have also signed an NDA with them

then we can send you more details

And so we did, or tried.
When applying from devnet for sony we got reply from Sunah that it will be forwarded to your console team, over a week ago.
When applying through microsofts middleware page, we haven't heard anything so far and it's been something close to a week as well.

Are there any ETAs on how long the process is supposed to take?

We have applied both for PS5 and XSeries through the approrpiate channels

I’ll be in touch soon, let me check with Sunah first. The fact you did both means I can send u details about both.

sure, i appreciate the help

did you send your sentry org slug to Sunah already? I’ll need it to give access to stuff

[versed hearth]

I think my coworker who handled PS5 did

although contact after that kinda stopped

thank you for your interest! hopefully we get some feedback from you too on the product 🙏

Sunah was away a few days last week. Btw I already started the process to add you to the PlayStation preview access. Sunah will give u more details but tl;dr: You'll see PlayStation in any project settings, and instructions to set up are on that page.

alright, any ETA on the xbox part?

The Xbox part 'stand alone' is documented here: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-native/blob/master/toolchains/xbox/xbox_build.md

the Unreal specific plugin is what is being worked on in private as it contains Epic's private stuff too

we don't have an ETA but the hope is that it's a matter of weeks to have something out there. Some customers got it working for them so we'll piggy back on that instead of having a 'competing' version as they'd like to contribute that

i see

Hey, it's been a while and to my knowledge we still haven't heard from anyone regarding getting access to the SDKs.
