Rider 2026.2 EAP 3: Cost-effective Agentic Test Coverage, Code Change Previews, GameDev Templates, and NuGet Improvements | The .NET Tools Blog

JetBrains Rider 2026.2 EAP 3 introduces several enhancements aimed at improving developer workflow and efficiency, including a new AI agent skill for generating unit tests with reduced token usage, leveraging dotCover coverage data to create more relevant tests. The release also features a code change preview function that allows developers to evaluate quick-fixes and context actions before applying them, offering a safer and more confident coding experience. For game developers, Rider now includes a dedicated Game Development section in the New Project dialog, with Godot as the first pilot, streamlining the creation of game and editor extensions. Additionally, the NuGet tool window has been redesigned to separate package browsing from dependency management, enhancing workflow clarity and efficiency, while optimized garbage collection settings in Rider's backend aim to reduce memory usage. These updates are complemented by a full list of improvements and fixes available in the release notes.
