2018.2 is now available

Unity 2018.1 marked the start of a new cycle with two major innovations at the core. Together, the Scriptable Render Pipeline (SRP) and Shader Graph give artists and developers more power, while the C# Job System, Burst Compiler and ECS make it possible to take advantage of multi-core processors without the programming headache. Unity 2018.2 builds on these innovations and adds several new features. This post provides an overview of the most important updates in 2018.2. While you go through the list of new features, you can download Unity 2018.2 here or via the Unity Hub. One of the goals for Unity 2018.2 has been to build on the Scriptable Render Pipelines (SRPs) in order to enable next-level rendering. Another focus area has been to develop a range of features and improvements that will help you succeed in mobile. Let’s take a brief look at what we’ve done in these two areas before going into more detail on the entire release. Unity 2018.2 optimizes the performance of the Lightweight Render Pipeline (LWRP) and enhances the High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) to help you achieve high-end visual quality, including multiple improvements to the Shader Graph, which now supports both pipelines (please note that both the LWRP and HDRP are currently in preview.) We also added support for managed code debugging on iOS and Android,  Windows, macOS, Nintendo Switch, UWP and PS4 for IL2CPP, and we started adding some mobile optimizations to the Lightweight Render Pipeline (LWRP). For Android projects, 64-bit (ARM64) support gets its final release, and we now let you add Java code to your Unity plugins folder without needing to create libraries in advance. Finally, several new 2D features are available as Preview packages, including the Vector Graphics importer and Pixel Perfect. The Vector Graphics importer makes it easier for you to work with SVG graphics, and Pixel Perfect makes it easier for you to achieve a perfect retro look across different resolutions on a wide range of devices. To get an overview of all the improvements in this release, read on.

Introducing Unity 2017

We’re excited to announce that Unity 2017.1 has been released and is now available for download. We want to thank the Unity community for their valuable contributions during the beta phase. This release marks the debut of the new Unity 2017 cycle, evolving the world’s most popular game engine into an ever-expanding creation engine for gaming and real-time entertainment, with a strong focus on helping teams work better and enabling success. We want to equip artists, designers and developers with powerful new visual tools that let the whole team contribute more and collaborate efficiently. We also want to help you to produce amazing AAA experiences by improving graphics quality and runtime performance. Regarding performance, we want to help you stay ahead of the curve on the latest and emerging platforms (desktop, console, mobile, VR, AR, TVs) and to take advantage of the latest GPU and native Graphics APIs. With this in mind, we are building on Unity’s strong multiplatform “build once, deploy anywhere” foundation. We work closely with our technology partners so you can reach users everywhere and maximize your chances of success. Success includes revenue, and built-in solutions (Ads, IAP) and Live-Ops Analytics in Unity 2017 contribute in this area. They bring more opportunities to optimize the performance of your live games in real-time, without redeployment, helping to maximize revenue using the power of data. Unity 2017.1 is available to all users with an active subscription plan (Personal, Plus and Pro). If you have Unity 5 perpetual license(s), Unity 5.6 the last update in the 5.x cycle. To continue receiving all updates, go to the Unity Store and choose the plan that fits your needs. We are really excited about the amazing content our community will create with Unity 2017! Check out the roadmap, and keep reading to get all the info on Unity 2017.1, our first release in this new cycle.

Unity 2017.3 is here

2017.3 completes the 2017 cycle introducing several new features and improvements across the board for both artists and developers. We’re excited to share all the great new and improved features available today with Unity 2017.3. Before drilling down into the details, though, we wanted to look back at Unity 2017. (If you can’t wait, just jump straight to the What’s new section below.) With the new Unity 2017 cycle, we doubled down on our effort to help artists, designers and developers create and collaborate more efficiently. Powerful visual tools like Timeline, Cinemachine and Unity FBX Exporter free artists to do more. We continued to improve graphics quality and runtime performance to help you stay ahead of the curve on the latest emerging platforms (desktop, console, mobile, VR, AR, smart TVs) and to take advantage of the latest GPU and native Graphics APIs. A great example of this is the award-winning Adam demo-film series. Other features, like the updated 2D tools and Unity Teams, help you get better results, faster. Finally, we’ve given you new ways to use powerful data (in the Ads, IAP and Live-Ops Analytics solutions) to optimize game performance in real-time and maximize your revenue. Unity 2017.1, 2017.2 and 2017.3 delivered many key features supporting these goals. Here’s a summarized recap:
