ReSharper/Rider 2025.3 Release Party
In a Nutshell
ReSharper/Rider 2025.3 delivers major performance gains in startup, navigation, and code completion, plus day-zero C# 14 support with extension members and new exception-handling assistance. The island UI introduces independent brightness/contrast controls, while AI chat unifies Juny and other agents with quota transparency and upcoming BYO-key support. F# gains cross-language type fixes, GDScript expands, and Unreal debugging now handles const expressions and Android mobile call stacks.

ReSharper and Rider 2025.3 represents the final major release of the year, though smaller updates will continue to be released. The stream is being recorded for later viewing by those unable to attend live.
A Reddit AMA will be held the following day featuring the entire team including developers, QA, planning, and dev advocates. Questions can cover any topic about how the products work or future plans.
Significant performance gains were achieved across multiple areas, particularly in code completion, search, and navigation. File navigation access is now even faster than previous versions. Startup performance received focused attention with reductions in initialization frequency, improved cache loading, and optimizations for both cold starts and warm starts. Further performance work is planned for subsequent releases.
Game development initialization saw particular improvements with up to 20% faster loading times for previously opened Unreal solutions. Cached data enables quicker subsequent reopens of solutions.
The new island UI has been available in Early Access Program builds and received positive user feedback. The major release now includes this UI update. Users can customize brightness and contrast between the main editor and tool windows independently. This addresses feedback about eye strain from high contrast, allowing lower contrast options for different tool windows as needed.
