Choose the right release for you
We offer two different release versions so you can download the solution that best fits your needs. Tech Stream versions give you access to the latest in-progress features, while the LTS version ensures greater stability with two years of support.
Long Term Support (LTS)
The release for creators who value maximum stability and support for their next project. The LTS version rolls up the quality features and improvements made across the year into a single installation. This is our default release, and is recommended for creators who are about to lock in production on a specific version of Unity.
Tech Stream
Tech Stream is for creators who value getting earlier access to new features in order to prepare for future projects. These versions are primarily recommended for the preproduction, discovery, and prototyping phases of development, but they can be used to get ready for the next LTS by enabling earlier feature adoption.

This modular system and API is designed to speed up your workflows and optimize the size of your runtime by offering Unity-developed features as optional packages.

Frequently asked questions
If you are in production or close to launch, we recommend the latest LTS release. If you want to use the latest Unity features in your project or are just getting started with production, the Tech Stream is recommended.

Both our alpha and beta releases are open to everyone, so no signup is required. Get started by downloading them from the Unity Hub. Because there may be feature-stability issues with these early releases, we do not recommend them for projects in production, and we highly recommend that you back up any project before you open it with an alpha or beta release.
