How to Get Xcode 26
The current release is in the Mac App Store. Every version, including betas and older releases, is on Apple's developer download page at developer.apple.com/download/all, which needs a free Apple Account; that is the route for keeping more than one Xcode installed side by side, each renamed in the Applications folder.
Check the macOS requirement first: the installer refuses to run on anything older than macOS Tahoe 26.2 for the latest Xcode 26 release. Which Xcode runs on which macOS covers every version.
