 ### Fixed
 
 - Fixed a bug when the virtual hand inside the game is not visible but still collides with other objects inside the scene, mistakenly triggering events like OnGrabStateUpdated and OnTouchStateUpdated.
+- Fixed a bug where USGGrabComponent's `bAffectPhysicsState` does not enables physics on its owning actor at `BeginPlay()`.
 - Fixed various wrong Kismet script names and their class exports.
 - Fixed the display name for various overloads of the Blueprint-exposed function `Queue Command Vibro Level` to expose sensible display names.
 - Some Android UPL tweaks, permission, and build fixes.

 - FSGDebugVirtualHand::Draw now accepts a FXRMotionControllerData parameter instead of all WristLocation, WristRotation, JointPositions, and JointRotations parameters.
 - FSGDebugVirtualHandSettings has been renamed to FSGVirtualHandDebuggingSettings.
 - The value for USGGrabComponent's AttachmentSocketName uproperty now defaults to the value of the plugin's GrabAttachPointSocketName instead of Name_NONE.
+- The USGGrabComponent now enables `bGravityEnabled`, `bSimulatePhysics`, and calls `WakeRigidBody` on its owning actor at `BeginPlay()` if `bAffectPhysicsState` is enabled.
 - Updated the Directory Structure section of the main README file to reflect the latest toolchain support status.
 - The `/CHANGELOG.md` file has been migrated to `/Handbook/src/overview/changelog.md`
 - The `/LICENSE.md` file has been migrated to `/Handbook/src/license/senseglove-unreal-engine-plugin.md`
