Steam Store

Blender is available on the Steam store. Different versions and daily builds are available under Betas.

Publishing Builds

Delivery is automated through the buildbot.

Assigning a build as the stable release is done manually on the application page. Before doing so, switch the matching daily build branch and test it works correctly first.

Event

This information may be outdated.
