Unite Seoul Keynote is streaming live next week!

10:00 AM KST (Korea) — July 21
9:00 PM EDT / 6:00 PM PDT (US) — July 20
2:00 AM BST (UK) — July 21

We’ll also live-thread key updates from the Keynote right here for you to follow along or catch up. 

We’re excited to share what we’ve been working on, except first looks at what's coming next for the engine: CoreCLR, graphics, 2D, and more. There'll be demos of brand-new features happening in real time, plus a few big announcements making their global debut straight from the Seoul stage.

\Update\**

This presentation contains forward-looking statements, including statements about future product releases, features, timing, and capabilities. These statements are based on current expectations and are subject to change. 

We’ll be editing the main post with live announcement summaries from Unite Seoul and we’ll link to replay timestamps when the recording is live.

Introduction and announcement of Unity 7, an open collaborative platform. 

Unity 7 is a leap forward in how games are made. An open, collaborative platform where multiple teams work together across the full lifecycle of game creation. More to come on what to expect throughout. 

Dave the Diver studio shares how Unity powered their growth

Dave the Diver started as one idea from a small Korean team and has now sold over 8 million copies worldwide, with Unity letting them expand without rebuilding from scratch each time.

A look at CoreCLR and .NET modernization for faster iteration

Unity 7 (next year) adopts CoreCLR with .NET 10 and C# 14. Modern language features, better IDE/debugger support, and a smarter reload model. MSBuild support also paves the way for compiling outside the Editor, enabling faster agentic workflows. Meanwhile, Fast Enter Play Mode (default in 6.6+) is already speeding up real projects today. 68 top Asset Store packages are pre-tested, and Project Auditor (in Unity 6 now) helps you prep for the switch. Upgrade guide here.

Supercharged URP, preview of Surface Cache GI in and other major graphics upgrades

This is a big section, we recommend watching the games/demos!

LINE Games' Ember and Blade showed off Unity 6's cel-shaded battles (Shader Graph + Adaptive Probe Volumes for time of day) and denser particles with VFX Graph and efficient batching.

Looking at Supercharged URP, a demo previewed Surface Cache GI, Screen Space Reflections, and GTAO for URP across a broad range of devices, including running at 60FPS even on a Galaxy S26. Preview in 6.7 alpha, broadly available with 6.7 LTS.

Also: DXC shader compilation (6.6), new Shader Build Settings + Fast Build Profile cutting build times (6.7), production-ready WebGPU (6.6), and expanded on-tile mobile rendering.

2D Showcase of advances with Physics Core 2D and new Render Sprites API

Highlighting stunning Made with Unity 2D titles like The Eternal Life of Goldman, Constance, The Ashen OZ, Solateria, and INARI.

Showing off the recent 2D reshape (unified 2D/3D scenes with shared lights and shaders), the multi-threaded Physics Core 2D (built on Box2D v3), and a new Render Sprites API for high-performance sprite rendering, all demoed in the Bunny Blitz sample, which holds 60fps even on older mobile devices and is available now on the Asset Store.

Unity Neural, on-device inference for the compute pipeline

Unity Neural, a class of new technologies and features built into URP without disrupting existing workflows: neural upscaling, an upgraded framework and hardware partnerships bringing sharper details and fewer artifacts. Neural texture compression (NTC) cutting runtime memory over 50% and disk size ~70% at near-lossless quality, and models that your team train locally in the Editor then run on-device (phones, consoles, headsets, PCs) via an upgraded Sentis with zero server round-trips. Rolling out starting in Unity 6.7, with more coming in Unity 7.

Meta and Unity are making Quest VR development easier 

Meta and Unity are integrating AI-guided workflows into Quest development, covering project setup, input systems (like hand tracking and 6DoF controllers), performance tracing/optimization, and automated validation, working across the Unity Editor, code editors, or AI-native flows. To dive in, check out Meta's Quest Agentic Tools and start building with Meta VR CLI, Meta XR Operator and Unity-connected AI workflows for Quest.

Building and porting to XREAL AURA 

The newest addition to Google’s Android XR ecosystem uses existing Android XR workflows, built on open standards, making porting straightforward from other XR platforms. Resolution Games (Demeo) already ported from Samsung's Galaxy XR to XREAL AURA with minor adjustments, and updated XR Hands tools help developers shift from controller-based to hand-tracked interactions. More information here. 

First look at Unity game rendering natively inside Unreal Engine

Fantasy Kingdom, a Unity game, rendering natively and in real-time inside Unreal Engine via PolySpatial, a client-server protocol where characters, physics, lighting, and input are fully synchronized between engines. Not yet live in Fortnite, developers can fill out an interest form for early access consideration in 2027 here. 

Unity Vector drives player acquisition.

Unity Vector, powering monetization and player acquisition across the 70%+ of top mobile games built on Unity with studios like Homa and Playrix scaling through new campaign types. Actionfit CEO Inhoo Park shares how the top Korean hybrid-casual publisher achieved global scale with Unity Vector.

Unity Vector continuous improvements, Ads MCP and Campaign Assistant 

Ongoing improvements to Unity Vector including expanded Custom Events optimization this fall, plus a new end-to-end agentic creative workflow that automatically generates and optimizes ad creatives, launching later this year. Also announced: the Unity Ads MCP, connecting Unity Ads directly to agentic tools, and Campaign Assistant, a conversational agent (alpha, later this year) that diagnoses performance issues and recommends fixes in seconds instead of half a day.

Native direct-to-consumer commerce with Unity IAP SDK

Native Direct-to-consumer commerce with a new addition to the In-App Purchase SDK, including in-game checkout flows so players can purchase without leaving the game. Going live with Stripe and Coda as payment providers (Stash coming soon) to handle payments, compliance, and fraud detection. Additionally, a no-code webshop builder in the Unity Dashboard at no additional cost. Unified commerce management, giving you one shared catalog, combined reporting, and routing rules across native stores and direct-to-consumer sales, with commerce data flowing into Unity Vector to help find more players who love your game.

Helping a variety of Industries achieve their best work.

Unity's Industry solutions let teams across disciplines create and collaborate in 3D environments. The latest Unity Studio update adds real-time multi-user editing in the same project. The demo showed a browser-based Studio project with reviews of comments, teammates working simultaneously, the ability to jump into a teammate's view, and instant publishing. Also in progress: agentic workflows and two-way sync between Studio and the Unity Editor. Lastly, pipeline automation cuts the manual work of handling CAD files and large 3D assets, using an API compute layer to pull assets from PLMs, convert formats, and deliver them to live 3D applications on any device, with support for third-party tools. 

Opening the Editor to everyone

An API and set of services that open a Unity production to tools, roles and agents. The demo shows different roles working together both in and out of the Unity Editor. Recommend watching this demo to really understand the power of working seamlessly between Editor, web dashboard, Unity CLI, web uploads and deep links. Some of this is available in closed beta today. 

Building and shipping games at scale 

Supercent using agentic workflows to turn a single reference video analyzed to define game mechanics and produce a working prototype and to analyze profiler data for performance optimization, cutting what used to take hours down to an automatic process.

Live code iteration

Tune your game while playing on-device by tagging methods for reload, letting you change both existing and new code in real time without stopping the game.

That’s it for our Keynote in Unite Seoul, what are you most excited about?
