2020 Long-Term Support (LTS)

2020 Long-Term Support (LTS)

The LTS release is for creators who value maximum stability and support. It rolls up the quality features and improvements we made in 2020 into a single install. 2020 LTS includes upgrades to Universal Render Pipeline (URP), Shader Graph, 2D tools, and more.

Additional features for incredible visuals

Create codeless camera behavior

Cinemachine 2.6 is now Verified, so you can compose shots without worrying about technical details. Cinemachine automates camera behaviors based on scene composition and interaction, allowing you to focus on art direction while prototyping and iterating.

Achieve more realistic animation

Preserve visual fidelity of motion and shorten the iteration loop by making animation edits directly in your scene with Animation Rigging. This feature now includes bidirectional motion transfer to achieve more realistic animation.

Faster, more accurate asset imports

Iterate faster in the Editor with optimized asset workflows. The Asset Import Pipeline is now more reliable, performant and scalable. Also, roundtripping with 3D modeling tools is more accurate with new axis conversion settings.

Create beautiful VFX in real-time

VFX Graph now includes Output Events to provide synchronization between lights, sound, physical reactions or gameplay based on spawn events using a delegate interface in C#.

Edit Prefabs in context

Visualize the scene context or parent Prefab while safely editing your Prefab asset. With this new default option, you can enter Prefab Mode via an instance of the Prefab without leaving your current Scene.

An enhanced 2D experience

Get started in 2D faster with the updated template that features optimal settings with 2D packages pre-installed and precompiled. Sprite Shape corners now allow you to connect corners visually without custom Corner Sprites and more.

Boost 2D animation performance with Burst

Animate complex 2D bone-based characters for a big performance boost by installing the Burst package. It speeds up the calculations needed for sprite mesh deformations during runtime.

Prefab optimization

Import improvements for Prefabs include performance enhancements, search and updating that’s up to 50x faster, and cacheability to speed up workflows.
