Visual Studio 2022 is now in preview, built for 64-bit PCs - XDA Developers

Microsoft has released the first preview of Visual Studio 2022, the next major update to its developer IDE.

Microsoft first announced Visual Studio 2022 back in April, and the big news is that it’s now a 64-bit app.

Visual Studio 2022 ships with the .NET 6 SDK, which is also in preview.

Other changes include making the new Git experience introduced in Visual Studio 2019 the only option for version control.

One thing that’s worth noting in this release is the Visual Studio 2022 won’t work with extensions for Visual Studio 2019, thanks to some breaking changes in the SDK.

However, you can install this alongside Visual Studio 2019 and use both side-by-side.

Microsoft also warns that some Visual Studio tools aren’t available yet in this release since they still need to be moved to 64-bit.
