We’re updating you on a change to NVIDIA Omniverse: The Launcher will be deprecated on October 1st. This is part of our commitment to a developer-first platform.
This change streamlines your workflow, providing direct access to Omniverse SDKs, APIs, and services via GitHub and NGC Catalog for a more open, integrated, and efficient development experience.
Though the Launcher is phasing out, all essential tools and resources remain accessible via direct methods:
- Omniverse Kit templates, samples, and development tools: Find the Omniverse Kit App Template and IsaacSim on GitHub, or get started with the Omniverse Kit SDK on NGC Catalog.
- USD Connectors: Read the USD Connections Overview for more information..
- Omniverse Extensions: Direct from vendor web pages (see NVIDIA OpenUSD Ecosystem Catalog).
- Content and assets: Available on the NVIDIA Documentation Hub.
For a smooth transition, please:
- Review the Omniverse legacy tools page for transition details and replacement resources.
- Uninstall Omniverse Launcher by following our detailed documentation guide.
- Explore Omniverse samples and app templates directly on GitHub or the NGC Catalog.
