Unity 2021 Long-Term Support Released

Here's what Unity 2021 LTS will bring:

Faster iteration to get to quality: The new version comes with improved workflows, better Editor usability, enhanced testing tools, an improved search, a host of speedups across common operations, and improved C# 8 support. Testing has also been made more convenient with a new mobile Device Simulator and Code Coverage package with Test Runner.

More accessible creative workflows: With the Unity Editor, you can now build immersive experiences faster than ever. The 2021 LTS version comes with an integrated visual scripting solution and improvements to the VFX Graph, Shader Graph, and Cinemachine, as well as upgrades to Terrain tools and the 2D toolset.

Powerful scriptable render pipelines: Create platform-optimized graphics with the Universal Render Pipeline (URP), or focus on the fidelity with the High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP). URP upgrades such as decals, Point Light shadows, and Lens Flare bring it closer in parity to the Built-In Render Pipeline. The update also brings HDRP performance upgrades and features like NVIDIA DLSS for desktop, Volumetric Clouds, and Static Shadow Caster.

Reach new generations of players: Expand your development capabilities with ChromeOS and macOS-based Apple silicon support, and achieve even more impressive results on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Develop a new ’verse with OpenXR and Oculus enhancements, or create for mobile with Samsung Adaptive Performance 3.0 for optimizations and Android asset bundling for publishing.
