Arcane Mirage has officially announced it will shut down on July 31, 2025.

As the official migration partner for Arcane Mirage, Vagon Streams is here to provide a smooth, supported path forward, so your experience stays online and your users stay connected.

If you’re currently using the platform to stream Unreal Engine experiences, the shutdown deadline means immediate action is required. With no built-in migration tools or transition support from Arcane Mirage, finding a reliable, production-ready alternative is critical.

Vagon Streams is not only that alternative, it’s the officially recommended migration partner.

Designed for high-performance, real-time streaming across multiple platforms, including Unreal Engine, Unity, and other Windows-based applications, Vagon Streams delivers what Arcane Mirage could not. It offers global coverage, faster connections, support for all modern devices, and the scalability required for serious deployments.

In this post, we will cover:

• The key differences between Arcane Mirage and Vagon Streams

• Why a seamless transition matters now more than ever

• What to expect when switching to a more capable platform

If you are planning your next step after Arcane Mirage, this guide will help you move forward with confidence.

Official Migration Partnership: What It Means?

Vagon Streams is proud to be the official migration partner in collaboration with the Arcane Mirage team. We’re working closely with their community to offer dedicated migration support, step-by-step onboarding, and complimentary credits to help you get started.

Here’s what that includes:

• $20 in migration credits for all Arcane Mirage users

• Tailored onboarding guides and support for any application

• 1:1 support sessions with our expert team

• No-code deployment, with optional API-based control for advanced use

Whether you’re streaming a configurator, prototype, demo, or production-level app, Vagon Streams ensures you’re back online with zero rebuild and minimal friction.

Why Arcane Mirage Was a Good Start, But Not the Finish Line?

If Arcane Mirage helped you get your first project off the ground, you’re not alone. But now, it’s time for a more scalable and flexible platform, with the official support to help you move.

Arcane Mirage made it easier for developers to get started with pixel streaming, especially for Unreal Engine. It offered a lightweight, browser-based deployment process that required minimal technical setup. For solo creators, students, or small teams testing interactive 3D experiences, it delivered just enough to showcase work quickly. The token-based model was flexible for occasional usage, and the service provided a clear pathway for previewing projects without investing in complex infrastructure.

But while Arcane Mirage lowered the barrier to entry, it quickly revealed its limits for production-grade use.

❌ Unreal Engine only
No support for Unity, desktop apps, or other 3D tools—restricting teams that use mixed pipelines

❌ High per-minute pricing
Token system can become costly as usage grows, with unpredictable billing for active sessions

❌ Limited mobile support
No dedicated features for mobile browsers or touch interaction, making mobile demos difficult to deliver

❌ No public security accreditation
Lacked formal compliance certifications, making it unsuitable for enterprise or privacy-sensitive deployments

Arcane Mirage helped many projects get off the ground, but with its shutdown approaching, creators need a solution that is more flexible, scalable, and future-ready.

Below is a breakdown of how Arcane Mirage compares to Vagon Streams across the most important criteria for developers, studios, and organizations.

How to Move from Arcane Mirage to Vagon Streams?

Transitioning away from a platform you’ve relied on can feel overwhelming, especially with a shutdown deadline approaching. But migrating from Arcane Mirage to Vagon Streams is a straightforward process, designed to minimize disruption and help you get back online quickly.

Here’s how to make the switch in a few clear steps:

1. Package Your Project

If you’ve been using Unreal Engine with Arcane Mirage, your project is already in the right format. Simply package your build for Windows as usual. If you're working in Unity or another desktop app, follow your standard build process.

2. Create a Vagon Streams Account

Start by creating an account on app.vagon.io. The onboarding process includes a guided setup, with documentation and tutorials specific to Unreal Engine, Unity, and general application streaming.

3. Upload Your Build via the Dashboard

Use the no-code interface to upload your packaged build. You can assign a project name, choose the regions you want to activate, and define performance settings such as resolution and frame rate.

4. Customize the Player and Deployment Settings

Whether you want to share a direct link or embed the experience in your own website or application, Vagon Streams gives you full control over both the player and the deployment environment.

Through the dashboard, you can:

• Customize the white-label player with your own branding, background, and UI elements

• Enable or disable regions to control where your application is available, optimizing performance for your target audience

• Adjust performance settings such as resolution (up to 4K), frame rate, bitrate, and GPU profile depending on the needs of your content

• Set launch arguments for Unreal Engine or other applications, allowing for project-specific configurations or runtime parameters

• Enable multi-user or single-user sessions, depending on your use case (demo, review, configurator, etc.)

For developers who need tighter integration, a full API is also available to control deployment, session behavior, and user authentication, ideal for large-scale or embedded deployments.

5. Test Across Devices

Once deployed, test your experience across different regions and device types—desktop, tablet, mobile—to validate performance. Vagon Streams includes tools for session monitoring and performance analytics so you can optimize delivery.

6. Reach Out for Help if Needed
