Download and install of Windows Arm64 Editor via the Unity Hub is only possible through Hub version v3.7.0 Beta 1 or later. For more information, see the Unity Hub release notes.
To switch to the latest beta version of the Hub, change Preferences > Advanced > Channel to Beta. Alternatively, re-download Unity: https://unity.com/download
Unity does not provide support for platforms that do not provide native Windows Arm64 SDKs. Build for these platforms might still work with x86 emulation on Windows ARM64.
Unity does not support packages with third-party binary dependencies that do not provide native Arm64 support. These packages might work with x86 emulation on Windows Arm64.
Unity does not support Vulkan for Windows Arm64.
Unity does not support CPU lightmapping for Windows Arm64, only GPU lightmapping.
On macOS, secondary Editor windows only maximize, and don’t enter full screen mode.
The Apple silicon Editor has the following limitations:
Download and install of Apple silicon Editor via the Unity Hub is only possible through Hub version 3.0 Beta 6 or later, with some limitations in 3.0 Beta 6. For more information, refer to the Hub release notes.
To switch to the latest beta version of the Hub, change Preferences > Advanced > Channel to Beta or re-download from https://unity.com/download.
If you are using Hub 2.4.5 and want to use the Apple silicon Editor: uninstall the Apple Intel version, download and run the standalone installer for Unity Editor (Apple silicon) from https://unity3d.com/unity/whats-new, and locate it through the Hub.
The native Apple silicon Editor doesn’t support the CPU lightmapperA tool in Unity that bakes lightmaps according to the arrangement of lights and geometry in your scene. More info
See in Glossary or import from SketchUp.
The Linux Editor has the following limitations:
Pipe error ! message, you must increase the maximum open file limit in your current Editor session. For example, run ulimit -n 4096 in the terminal before launching the Editor. For more information, refer to the Troubleshooting Linux Editor issues page.This section lists the minimum requirements to build and run the Unity Player. Actual performance and rendering quality might vary depending on the complexity of your project.
