Unity’s graphics drivers team is the foundation of all rendering at Unity. From the billions of mobile games, PC and console titles, XR experiences, or other real-time rendering applications, every pixel Unity renders flows through our code.

Our team is responsible for the application interface to the graphics hardware, which we implement using industry-standard graphics APIs like Vulkan, Direct3D, Metal, and WebGPU, to name a few.

  • Optimize performance, troubleshoot performance-related bugs and create tools to evaluate performance.
  • Partner with the Virtual Reality team, platform partners and customers to improve rendering performance.
