Create once, ship anywhere

Shipping your game on multiple platforms helps you reach more players, wherever they play. This not only gives you a larger potential user base at launch, it also lets you re-engage your most dedicated fans as their hardware preferences change.

As new platforms with more complex APIs evolve, we advance our strategic partnerships to ensure that our platform support keeps growing alongside the industry, helping you extend your player base.

The Universal Render Pipeline (URP) empowers developers to prioritize innovation, as performance and graphic fidelity are optimized across Unity’s supported platform ecosystem. Thanks to its scalability, customizability, and a rich feature set, URP offers you creative freedom for any type of project, from stylized visuals to physically based rendering.

From a beautiful garden to a peaceful oasis to a spacecraft cockpit, the URP 3D Sample Scene is available in the Unity Hub and features environments to help you learn how to use URP optimally across desktop, console, mobile, and XR.

The journey starts in the Terminal, which takes advantage of physically based materials to offer a realistic rendering, while the Garden allows you to scale effortlessly on mobile devices and higher-end platforms. Access the Cockpit, a heavily stylized environment specifically tailored for VR headsets and lower-end mobile devices, and discover the Oasis to learn how URP can reach a higher level of visual quality for platforms with more performant GPUs.

The project is available inside the Unity Hub.

Performance and graphic fidelity vary by console and device. To ensure players have a great experience anywhere, consider:

• Prioritizing testing on your minimum-spec device to pinpoint baseline performance and use Unity’s profiling and debugging tools to prevent, identify, and fix performance problems across all platforms
• Using the Addressable Asset System for content delivery when optimizing for web and mobile to ensure download size isn’t an issue
• Optimizing team collaboration and project version control with solutions like Unity Version Control
• Working directly with experts at Unity through Accelerate Solutions to achieve optimal performance across platforms

When shipping your game on multiple platforms, it’s essential to ensure that it’s ready to grow so you can reach as many players as possible.

With Unity’s Data-Oriented Technology Stack (DOTS), you can scale your game efficiently because it enables you to iterate faster with C# code that’s easier to read and reuse across other projects.

Unity Gaming Services can help you build live games with tools for multiplayer services, game operations, user acquisition, and monetization.

Cloud Game Server Hosting (Multiplay) delivers performance and flexibility to your gaming infrastructure and provides the best experience to your players.

Multiplatform games come with challenges as well as opportunities for success.

You’ll want to make sure your game isn’t crashing or lagging on any of your target platforms. Unity Cloud Diagnostics enables you to filter crash and performance data, link it to different response teams, and set up custom dashboards to ensure your game runs smoothly on targeted hardware.

It can also be helpful to hear from creators who have taken their games from concept to launch. Unity Roundtable: Learn the true costs and tips for creating a game features industry-leading experts who share advice and game creation experiences.

Optimize your games for the latest platforms with Unity 2022 LTS.
