About the Universal Render Pipeline

Universal Render Pipeline in action

The Universal Render Pipeline (URP) is a prebuilt Scriptable Render Pipeline, made by Unity. URP provides artist-friendly workflows that let you quickly and easily create optimized graphics across a range of platforms, from mobile to high-end consoles and PCs.

URP is supported on the following platforms:

  • Windows and UWP
  • Mac and iOS
  • Android
  • XBox One
  • PlayStation4
  • Nintendo Switch
  • WebGL
  • All current VR platforms

For information on starting a new URP Project from scratch, or upgrading an existing Project that uses the Built-in Render Pipeline or the Lightweight Render Pipeline (LWRP), see Getting started.

Note: Projects made using URP are not compatible with the High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) or the Built-in Render Pipeline. Before you start development, you must decide which render pipeline to use in your Project. For information on choosing a render pipeline, see the Render Pipelines section of the Unity Manual.
