Note that Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron and Eberron: Rising from the Last War now redundantly feature most of the same new races, though the latter reprints the goblin, bugbear, and hobgoblin races, and includes a new version of the orc race.

#PLAYABLE MONSTER RACES 5E SERIES#
You can think of the material presented in this series as similar to the first wave of the fifth edition playtest. UA articles are presented on WotC's website with the following notice: UA: Unearthed Arcana articles, link and name specific article when listing TP: The Tortle Package, an Extra Life fundraiser from WotC SCAG: Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, Chapter 3: Races of the Realms For these reasons, material in this supplement is not legal in D&D Organized Play events. The game mechanics in this supplement are usable in your D&D campaign but are not fully tempered by playtests and design iterations. Notably, it comes with a disclaimer substantially similar to the one provided with UA articles: Note that Plane Shift occupies a strange shade-of-grey space: it's "compatible with" D&D, published by WotC, but written by the Magic: the Gathering team instead of the D&D team (though the author of all of them was a former D&D team member).

There are two different ways a race could be "official": it could be "official" in the sense of fully-tested and legal for sanctioned organized play campaigns, and it could be "official" in the sense of being published in 1st-party material from Wizards of the Coast.
