Summary
Cursor’s May 7 changelog adds a native PR review surface, async subagent execution for plan steps, and a built-in way to split large changes into separate pull requests. The release continues Cursor’s shift from editor assistant toward an end-to-end agent workspace with multi-step execution and review controls.
What changed
Cursor 3.3 introduced an in-product PR review flow, a Build in Parallel action for plans using async subagents, and a quick action to split changes into multiple PRs.
Why it matters
This release pushes Cursor further into orchestration and review, not just code generation. It also sharpens the competitive line against Codex, Windsurf, and Claude Code by treating subagent parallelism and PR lifecycle work as core product surfaces rather than add-ons.
Evidence excerpt
Cursor says 3.3 adds a PR review experience, lets plans run simultaneously using async subagents through Build in Parallel, and can split logical slices of work into separate PRs.
