Unity 6 Launches, Aiming to Rebuild Developer Trust

Unity's new CEO, Matthew Bromberg, seeks to mend ties with game developers after a tumultuous period, introducing Unity 6 with enhanced features and a commitment to stability.

Unity 6 is now available across mobile, PC, console, and extended reality platforms, offering improved performance and new tools for developers.
Key features include enhanced graphics capabilities, a multiplayer center, and increased memory limits for web projects, aiming to improve game development workflows.
The release follows Unity's controversial runtime fee policy, which was reversed after developer backlash and led to the resignation of former CEO John Riccitiello.
Matthew Bromberg, appointed as CEO in May 2024, emphasizes a renewed focus on customer relations and a transparent update cycle to regain developer confidence.
Unity plans to provide ongoing support for Unity 6, with the first update, Unity 6.1, scheduled for April 2025, as part of a strategy to ensure long-term stability and feature enhancement.
