The newest Launcher features a completely overhauled UI with a totally revamped back-end structure and technology stack.

In addition, as mentioned earlier this year, the CRYENGINE Marketplace has been refactored as a free asset trading platform called the Asset Database – where contributors can share assets from all disciplines of game development for free with their fellow CRYENGINE Developers.
