$500 value/$33
For anyone unhappy with their dev setup, Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2026 is down to just $32.97 (reg. $499.99) through June 7. This is the kind of software deal developers screenshot before sending to every group chat they’re in.
Because saving roughly $467 on one of the most recognizable professional IDEs on the planet feels less like bargain hunting and more like making an objectively smart decision. And importantly, this isn’t some stripped-down “starter” version pretending to be professional software.
Visual Studio Professional 2026 is a full-featured 64-bit development environment built for modern workflows, AI-assisted coding, massive projects, cross-platform development, and collaborative teams that would otherwise spend half their day yelling, “Can you reproduce the bug?”
It supports .NET MAUI, Blazor, C++, containers, Linux, Windows, Azure, GitHub integrations, and hot reload capabilities that make iteration dramatically faster. The AI-assisted coding tools and IntelliCode features help reduce repetitive boilerplate work while improving suggestions based on your actual codebase and workflows.
