I've been waiting to buy the standalone version of Visual Studio 2022 since it's been announced that the 2026 version would be available today. However, when I check the Microsoft website, it still directs me to the 2022 version. What's going on?

You can download Visual Studio 2026 directly from Microsoft. If you're going for the Community edition, it's completely free! Just check out the download link on their site.
I believe Visual Studio 2026 might be included in the Visual Studio Installer. I recently reinstalled VS for my new work laptop, and I remember seeing options for both 2022 and 2026 there.
I've been trying to download MS Visual Studio 2026, but nothing seems to happen! I just get a message saying "Thank You for Downloading" on my tab (I'm using Firefox). Has anyone else faced this issue?
Why not just use the Community edition instead of buying it? It's free and has a lot of features!
If it's just the first day of release, their servers might be a bit overwhelmed. That seems to happen often with new launches.
