Download Cocos Dashboard here to get Cocos Creator 2.4.5
We’re excited to be sharing this update with you as we continue to improve Cocos Creator for all developers who are continuing to build games for Cocos Creator in 2.x for the foreseeable future.
As we promised, when releasing 3.0, support for Cocos Creator 2.4 will be continuing for the next two years for those who want to stay within the old version or have current projects that are not qualified for 3.0.
We have a converter within 3.0 that can convert 2.x projects to 3.0, but the action is non-reversible, so it’s good to create a copy and work from there. If you want to read more, there is a complete guide inside our documentation.

M1 chip support
After Apple’s M1 chip was launched, the engine group received feedback from many developers, and the adaptation of the M1 chip was pushed for the next 2.4 release. Cocos Creator 3.0 already has support for the M1 chip, and work to add support for 2.4.x followed closely. We finally can share that version 2.4.5 officially supports the environment of the M1 chip. Everyone is welcome to experience and use it!
