EntitiesBreaking
Removed: Baking managed components and managed shared components is no longer supported. Baker.AddComponentObject, Baker.AddSharedComponentManaged, and Baker.SetSharedComponentManaged are now compile errors. Convert your data to unmanaged IComponentData / ISharedComponentData (use UnityObjectRef<T> to reference UnityEngine.Object instances) and bake it with the unmanaged AddComponent / AddSharedComponent APIs.
EntitiesBreaking
Removed: The managed-component APIs deprecated in 6.6 are now compile errors.
EntitiesBreaking
Removed: The EntityCommandBuffer/ParallelWriter APIs for managed IComponentData and managed ISharedComponentData are now compile errors.

Removed: The obsolete managed GhostPresentationGameObjectPrefab component is now a hard error ([Obsolete(..., true)]) and no longer functional. Use the unmanaged UnmanagedGhostPresentationGameObjectPrefab instead, which references the prefabs through UnityObjectRef<GameObject>.
Netcode for EntitiesBreaking
Added: Added the PhysicsCallbacks.IPreContactCallback and PhysicsCallbacks.IPreContinuousCallback interfaces for physics shapes, replacing PhysicsCallbacks.IPreSolveCallback which is now deprecated. IPreContactCallback reports a contact before it is solved and gives you the full contact manifold to modify or cancel. IPreContinuousCallback reports a fast moving shape that is about to be stopped short of another shape, and lets you decide whether to stop it. IPreSolveCallback previously reported both of these situations through a single callback. The per shape option that enables them is now called Pre Contact Callbacks.
Physics 2DBreaking
Added: Added pointA and pointB to the physics contact manifold point, which give the contact point on each shape in world space. The existing point property is now deprecated because the two new properties replace it.
Physics 2DBreaking
Deprecated: Deprecated the PhysicsCallbacks.IPreSolveCallback interface. It reported both an existing contact and a predicted stop for a fast moving shape through a single callback, so it is replaced by PhysicsCallbacks.IPreContactCallback and PhysicsCallbacks.IPreContinuousCallback, one for each situation. The deprecated interface keeps working and still reports both, and a shape only uses it where the matching new interface is not implemented, so you can move over one at a time.
Physics 2DBreaking
Deprecated: Deprecated PhysicsWorld.WorldProfile.applyBounciness; bounciness is no longer a separate solver stage so it always reads as zero.
Physics 2DBreaking
Obsoleted: Removed PhysicsWorld and PhysicsWorldDefinition autoContactCallbacks and autoTriggerCallbacks properties as they are no longer required or used. The contact and trigger events are effectively free now and production of such events is still controlled on a per-shape basis so no behaviour has been lost.
Physics 2DBreaking
Obsoleted: Obsoleted Playable APIs Playable.SetDelay, Playable.GetDelay, as well as Playable.SetPlayState. The delay functionality can be implemented manually via ScriptPlayables, either by inserting a new playable in the chain which implements the delay, or by modifying the parent playable to handle the delay.
PlayablesBreaking
Deprecated: Deprecated PlayerSettings.gpuSkinning. Use PlayerSettings.meshDeformation instead.

Deprecated the Baked Occlusion Culling authoring workflow in the Editor. New projects no longer expose its authoring UI, while existing projects retain the workflow and baked data and display a deprecation notice. Consider migrating to GPU Occlusion Culling where supported.
GraphicsBreaking
Removed un-unused UnityAot2 Hashes.
IL2CPPBreaking
Removed assertions from ToFileDescriptor.
Unity Transport: The RoslynAnalyzerFix asset post-processor (and its assembly) have been removed from the package. This deprecated hook did not serve a purpose anymore since the analyzer was removed from the package in version 2.5.0.
Always automatically generate the NetcodeConfig singleton. This is a breaking change for any project that uses EntityManager.CreateSingleton<NetcodeConfig>() to create the singleton explicitly. You can update your code to use SystemAPI.GetSingleton<NetcodeConfig>() instead.
Netcode for EntitiesBreaking

iOSAPI change
Added: Added MemoryLabel.Create.
KernelAPI change
Added: The former com.unity.collections has been moved into an engine module, namely ManagedKernelModule. It is now available irrespective of whether the package is used, and the package is reduced to a set of typeforwarders. As part of this move, the scripting define UNITY_DOTS_DEBUG no longer controls extra checks in players in Native and Unsafe collections (although it still does control many extra checks in Entities); now you need to use the Checked (or Debug) managed code variant to include those checks in player builds.
Added: Added support for replicating non-uniform (3D) scale via the Unity.Transforms.PostTransformMatrix component, using the new built-in PostTransformMatrix3DScaleVariant. Rather than sending the full float4x4 matrix, only the per-axis scale is extracted and replicated (as three quantized floats by default). Existing ghost prefabs will have the DontSerializeVariant set by default for PostTransformMatrix to not break existing behavior. Use the new SubType = GhostFieldSubType.PostTransformMatrixScale to create your own Variants.
Netcode for EntitiesAPI change
Added: Added PhysicsSceneLoadScope which can be used to control which physics scene is used when loading a unity scene asset. This effectively allows grouping multiple unity scenes under a specific physics scene.
PhysicsAPI change
Added: Added "ChainSegment.UpdateSegments()" to update the segments. This compliments the existing "ChainSegment.CreateSegments()".
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added "Get()" extension method to all Physics "object" types to allow users to work around not being able to use a setter property on a returned object without first assigned to a local variable. Added to PhysicWorld, PhysicsBody, PhysicsShape, PhysicsChain, PhysicsJoint and all concrete PhysicsJoints.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added "PhysicsUserData.vector3IntValue" property of type Vector3Int. This will allow per-shape tilemap position references.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added a "massOverride" property to PhysicsBody and PhysicsBodyDefinition that selects which of the mass, rotational inertia and center of mass use authored values instead of being calculated from the attached shapes.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added a "PhysicsEvents.WorldTransformPlaneChange" event which is called when a PhysicsWorld transform plane is changed.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added a batch overload of "SetOwnerUserData()" to PhysicsShape, PhysicsBody, and PhysicsJoint.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added a selectedDrawing property to PhysicsBody, PhysicsShape and PhysicsJoint, batch SetSelectedDrawing methods, and PhysicsWorld.ClearDrawSelected, so individual objects can be drawn persistently when the world is drawn.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added a static PhysicsWorld.DrawShapes method that draws a span of shapes into their worlds.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added an autoAxis option to the slider and wheel joint definitions that derives the joint axis from the joint anchors when the joint is created.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added an extension method to "NativeArray<T>" of "Filter()", providing a lazy, allocation-free, Burst-compatible filtered view over physics result arrays (object creation, queries, events, and other operations). We've added a "IPhysicsResultFilter<T>" and "PhysicsResultEnumerable<T, TFilter>" to allow custom filter methods to be used.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added an owner key overload to PhysicsShape "DestroyBatch()", PhysicsBody "DestroyBatch()", and PhysicsJoint "DestroyBatch()", plus their PhysicsWorld "DestroyShapeBatch()"/"DestroyBodyBatch()"/"DestroyJointBatch()" equivalents.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added an owner overload to PhysicsShape "CreateShapeBatch()" and PhysicsBody "CreateBatch()", plus the PhysicsWorld "CreateBodyBatch()" equivalent.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added batch setters for user data, owner user data, contact filter and surface material on PhysicsShape, PhysicsBody and PhysicsJoint.
Physics 2DAPI change

Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added PhysicsWorld.stateHash, which returns a hash of the current state of the world. Use it to compare the state of two worlds, for example when checking that a simulation is deterministic. The value is recalculated over the whole world each time you read it, so avoid reading it every frame.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added PhysicsWorld SetName() and GetName() methods to allow assigning of a 64 character name to help with world identity during debugging.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added: "PhysicsMath.TryGetRelativeMatrix2D()" and "PhysicsMath.TryGetPlaneMatrix2D()", which compute a 2D relative transform without ever returning a NaN result for a degenerate or flattened scale. These are often required when authoring components and help calculate relative transformation between two in a Transform hierarchy.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added: PhysicsBody, PhysicsShape and PhysicsJoint now each have a "drawTarget" property, selecting which Unity editor views (Scene view, Game view or both) the object is drawn into when the world is drawn.
Physics 2DAPI change
Changed: The batch and span setters on "PhysicsBody", "PhysicsShape" and "PhysicsJoint", along with "PhysicsWorld.Simulate", "PhysicsWorld.DrawShapes", "PhysicsSpace.SetBatchProxyAABB" and "PhysicsSpace.SetBatchProxyCategories", now return the number of items ignored because they were invalid and log a single warning when any are ignored.

URPAPI change
Changed: Added CLI args to Integration and Runtime test runners to select target browser and platform.
UTRAPI change
Added: Added new "Maximum Size Reduction" and "Maximum Size Reduction with LTO" Code Optimization settings. When enabled this will further optimize compiled IL2CPP code as well as apply extra link time optimizations (these are distinct from LTO). Testing across multiple projects and devices showed that compared to the default "Shorter Build Time" setting, "Maximum Size Reduction" reduces code size by an average of 28.50% at the cost of 5.25% frame time performance regression.
WebAPI change
Added: Added performance.measureUserAgentSpecificMemory to web diagnostics overlay to calculate used JS memory.
WebAPI change

Added a *Generate Accessibility Hierarchy toggle to the UI Document and Panel Renderer Inspectors, and the matching UIDocument.generateAccessibilityHierarchy and PanelRenderer.generateAccessibilityHierarchy properties, to opt individual components out of the generated hierarchy. The toggle is visible and takes effect only while the Generate Accessibility Hierarchies for Runtime Panels setting in Project Settings > UI Toolkit* is enabled.
AccessibilityFeature
Added experimental screen reader support for runtime UI Toolkit panels on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows. The new *Generate Accessibility Hierarchies for Runtime Panels setting in Project Settings > UI Toolkit* makes UI Toolkit automatically generate and maintain accessibility hierarchies for the participating runtime panels of the application's main window, so screen readers (Narrator, VoiceOver, TalkBack) can read and operate UI Toolkit content in player builds. In this first version, only buttons, labels, and toggles (including controls derived from them) are exposed as operable controls; other elements are announced by their text when one can be derived, but don't yet expose control-specific roles or interactions. This feature is experimental and not ready for production use.
AccessibilityFeatureAndroidiOSWindowsmacOS
Added CPU and GPU utilization indexer integration for adaptive performance.

It is possible to set the mode of a variable node through its inspector using the Allow to set value in graph checkbox.
Graph ToolkitFeature
URP Upscaler Priority List.
GraphicsFeature
Added support for image build settings to distribute reference images through embedded packages.
Graphics TestsFeature
Added a string-argument overload to [StubBodyIfTypeNotUsed] so that the target type can be named across an assembly boundary that the caller does not reference.
IL2CPPFeature
Added experimental support for IL2CPP targeting .NET on iOS. In this mode, the iOS player executes against a .NET 10 base class library (BCL). This is enabled on iOS by selecting the .NET Standard 2.1 - .NET Preview (Experimental) option in the ApiCompatibilityLevel Player setting. Note: C# code is still compiled as C# 9 and against the .NET Standard 2.1 API surface.
IL2CPPFeatureiOS
Added InputSettings.locationAccuracy and InputSettings.locationDistanceThreshold project defaults for location updates.
Input SystemFeature
Added Mouse.isSupported, which reports whether the current platform can deliver mouse input, rather than whether a mouse is currently connected.
Input SystemFeature
Added Pen.isSupported and Touchscreen.isPressureSupported, which report whether the current platform can deliver pen input and whether its touch input carries a real pressure value, rather than whether such a device is currently connected.
Input SystemFeature
Added full-screen video support for the Swift trampoline.

Added support for Universal Links in the Swift trampoline. Links associated with the app through Associated Domains (apple-app-site-association) now set Application.absoluteURL, invoke Application.deepLinkActivated, and notify native plugins.
iOSFeature
Input System rumble support for iOS.
iOSFeature
Added a new Single World Host mode for client-hosted servers, instead of using binary client and server worlds. This the new default for netcode host world creation. This new mode removes the overhead of having to run two worlds in the same process by running both client and server systems in the same world. With this, no more useless serialization/deserialization, useless rollback and replay, useless worlds doing the same thing. See the documentation for pros and cons. For existing projects transitioning to this new mode, please see the documentation for migration advice, as this is not a seamless transition. For those not wishing to use this new mode, you can change this back in your NetcodeConfig project settings using the HostWorldModeSelection setting.
Netcode for EntitiesFeatureServer
The chart tracks the requests in flight, and the bytes sent and received in each frame.
Feature
The request list shows each request's status, method, target domain, request source, content type, size and duration, and filters on any of them. A summary strip totals the requests, bytes transferred and errors of the recording, and its p95 latency.

QNXFeature
Added --qnx-network-stack option to allow selection of new io-sock QNX7.1 variants.
QNXFeature
Unity Player and Editor binaries now export a C symbol named UnityScriptingBackend. Its value indicates the scripting backend the binary was built with, such as IL2CPP, CoreCLR, or Mono, so external tooling can identify the backend by inspecting the binary without running it.
ScriptingFeature
Introduced a new fast build mode in the Shader Build Settings, automatically converting keywords to dynamic branching and making builds much faster for iteration purposes.
ShadersFeature
Added background gradients support for the background-image style.

AgX is a modern display transform that desaturates highlights as it compresses them, avoiding the hue shifts and clipping that can appear in over-exposed regions with ACES. It exposes two controls, Contrast and Mid Gray, and works in both SDR and HDR grading modes.
URPFeature
Modern Screen Space Ambient Occlusion in URP is now public. Existing SSAO Renderer Feature settings are no longer applied. To get the same SSAO results as before, follow the help box in the SSAO Renderer Feature inspector and copy the parameters (shown as inactive) into a Screen Space Ambient Occlusion Volume Override.
URPFeature
Input System rumble support for visionOS.

XRFeature
Project Auditor: detect boxing of structs used in List comparisons.
EditorImprovement
Improved the "PhysicsWorld.PhysicsGroup", "PhysicsWorld.CreateGroup" and "PhysicsShape.physicsGroup" documentation to clarify that a group treats a set of "PhysicsShapes" as one group for contact and trigger begin and end events, and that it is only effective when assigned to "PhysicsShape" on the same "PhysicsBody". (UUM-154161) First seen in 6000.7.0b2.
Improved the accuracy of bouncing, which is now resolved after the rest of the contact solving each simulation step. (UUM-154721) First seen in 6000.7.0b1.
Added a one-time scan that lists themes affected by the theme priority change, with a report file written to Logs/ and an on-demand scan button in Project Settings > UI Toolkit.
UI ToolkitImprovement
Added a warning when a theme style sheet is imported by a regular style sheet, since the theme's priority does not apply in that case.
UI ToolkitImprovement
Improved Smart Strings: plural formatting now works for languages without plural forms and for a count of two in French, conditional formats read numbers the same way in every culture, and dictionary lookups follow the case-sensitivity setting.
UI ToolkitImprovement
Improved style sheet import diagnostics: an @import placed after style rules now produces a warning explaining that its position does not affect selector priority.

AnimationImprovement
The Animator Window's compact mode Layers dropdown now has a search bar.
AnimationImprovement
Reduced memory consumption in Release builds. In Release builds, Profiler.GetTotalAllocatedMemoryLong() and Profiler.GetTotalReservedMemoryLong() now report the size the allocator actually reserved rather than the size that was requested, so a higher value than before does not mean that more memory is used.
Apple TVImprovement
Added clarification detail to.
Asset PipelineImprovement
The NativeFormatImporter now run out-of-process when "parallel import" (in ProjectSettings/Editor) is ON.
Asset PipelineImprovement
The VisualEffectImporter now run out-of-process when "parallel import" (in ProjectSettings/Editor) is ON.

Updated the bundled 7-Zip to version 26.02.
Build SystemImprovement
Updated the bundled 7-Zip to version 26.03.
Build SystemImprovement
Player builds no longer launch the Burst AOT compiler when no user assemblies reference Burst, speeding up build time significantly for projects that do not use Burst.
The Burst compiler server now starts asynchronously during editor initialization, reducing editor startup time.
DataStreamReader and DataStreamWriter no longer use a scratch field, allowing fixed-bit-sized packed writes to earlier positions in the buffer (via a copy of the writer) without data corruption.
CoreImprovement
Cherry-picked an upstream JIT fix that corrects an inverted Tier0 box-sharing guard, so Enum.HasFlag calls compiled at Tier0 get an exact-typed box and elide the allocation entirely instead of boxing both operands on every call (upstream dotnet/runtime #130590).
CoreCLRImprovement
The bundled CoreCLR runtime has been updated to a newer .NET 10 (release/10.0) servicing build, incorporating upstream fixes across the JIT, GC, COM/interop and cryptography, plus platform-specific fixes for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS and the browser.

Improved how DPI is calculated so that the fallback for unknown devices is more accurate.
iOSImprovement
Improved screen orientation handling on iOS so that the orientation reported by the operating system is used instead of inferring it from view dimensions.
iOSImprovement
Reduced memory consumption in Release builds. In Release builds, Profiler.GetTotalAllocatedMemoryLong() and Profiler.GetTotalReservedMemoryLong() now report the size the allocator actually reserved rather than the size that was requested, so a higher value than before does not mean that more memory is used.
iOSImprovement
Added a warning on the Multiplayer Center Quick Starts page reminding users that samples require the project to be linked to cloud services.
MultiplayerImprovement
Give GhostAuthoringComponent, GhostAuthoringInspectionComponent, and GhostAdapter AddComponentMenu paths under a shared "Multiplayer/" heading so they're discoverable in the Add Component menu (GhostAdapter's entry sits in the NETCODE_GAMEOBJECT_BRIDGE_EXPERIMENTAL branch).

Physics 2DImprovement
Added a "Make Asset" button to the empty Physics Core 2D project settings property, which creates a new PhysicsCoreSettings2D asset via a save dialog and assigns it.
Physics 2DImprovement
Added a dedicated ProfilerCategory.PhysicsCore2D profiler category. The PhysicsCore2D markers report under it.
Physics 2DImprovement
Added a simple "owner" getter property that aliases the "GetOwner()" method for PhysicsWorld, PhysicsBody, PhysicsShape, PhysicsChain and every joint type.

Physics 2DImprovement
Enabled PhysicsDistanceDefinitionJoint.autoDistance by default.
Physics 2DImprovement
If the physics simulation produces a PhysicsBody transform with either NaN or Infinite values due to an unstable simulation then, if the body is writing to transforms, it is immediately disabled and its owner name (GameObject, Component or Transform) reported to the console with no transform writing done. This stops the Transform from containing invalid values and reports the identity of the object in question exactly when it occurs.
Physics 2DImprovement
Improved Physics Core 2D contact solver performance.
Physics 2DImprovement
Improved the Physics Outline Sprite Editor algorithm which now produces sprite contours that are more efficient for physics, avoiding collinearity and now uses vertex-spacing rules alongside minimal decomposition area and has sub-pixel accuracy.

Physics 2DImprovement
PhysicsEvents of ContactBeginEvent, ContactEndEvent, TriggerBeginEvent and TriggerEndEvent can now be collated to produce a single Begin and End callback pair rather than multiple per-shape. This is critical to allow for "collider-style" callback behaviour where a logical group of shapes reports as a single compound shape.
Physics 2DImprovement
PhysicsJoint definitions now display as grouped, collapsible sections in the Inspector. Property drawers organize each definition into Anchors, Spring, Motor, Limit, Thresholds, Tuning and Drawing, so a definition reads as a handful of rows instead of a long flat list.
Physics 2DImprovement
PhysicsSpace now has several batch getter/setter methods to reduce round-trips from the engine including "SetBatchProxyAABB()", "GetBatchProxyAABB()", "GetBatchProxyCategories()", "GetBatchProxyUserHandle()" and "GetBatchProxyShapes".
Physics 2DImprovement
PhysicsSpace now has the ability to specify a bound world with "PhysicsSpace.Create(PhysicsWorld)". With a world bound, PhysicsShape can be synchronized with "PhysicsSpace.SyncShapes()" overloads.
Physics 2DImprovement
The PhysicsHingeJoint no longer draws redundant circles at its anchor points. No other joint does this.
Physics 2DImprovement
Updated PhysicsCoreSettings2D asset icon.
Physics 2DImprovement
PhysicsFixedJoint now uses a separate solving path when both the linear and angular frequencies are set to zero indicating full stiffness. This has always been a special set of values but now is much stiffer removing visible "ringing" artifacts when the bodies are relatively far apart and changing in both position and rotation.
Physics 2DImprovement
The PrefabImporter can now run out-of-process when "parallel import" (in ProjectSettings/Editor) is ON.
PrefabsImprovement
Added Vulkan graphics backend support to the GPU Profiler.
ProfilerImprovement
Improved our Lifecycle system to allocate less memory on hot paths.
Surface assembly references from the MSBuild compilation pipeline.

ShadersImprovement
Added the IRenderGraphPassData interface that allows users to implement a Reset() method in their render graph pass data to clean up PassData object before they enter the object pool.
SRP CoreImprovement
Improved RgbToHsv accuracy.
Render Graph Viewer - Allow opening the C# code and line where a texture was imported or created.
SRP CoreImprovement
The TextScriptImporter can now run out-of-process when "parallel import" (in ProjectSettings/Editor) is ON.
TextImprovement
The TrueTypeFont importer can now run out-of-process when "parallel import" (in ProjectSettings/Editor) is ON.

UI ToolkitImprovement
Improved accuracy of time measurements in USS Stats window (experimental).
UI ToolkitImprovement
Improved main scene editing Overrides menu.
UI ToolkitImprovement
Improved performance and memory usage of VisualElement class list.
UI ToolkitImprovement

UI ToolkitImprovement
Improved style sheet import diagnostics: an @import placed after style rules now produces a warning explaining that its position does not affect selector priority.
UI ToolkitImprovement
Improved Theme Style Sheet (.tss) references so newly written USS imports use GUID-based asset URIs, preventing references from being lost when the USS file is renamed or moved. Existing hand-authored relative imports remain supported, and users who prefer relative paths can still hand-edit them after saving.
Improved USS selector matching performance for complex selectors and for elements that match many selectors in the same stylesheet.
UI ToolkitImprovement
Reduced the amount of memory each VisualElement uses.
UI ToolkitImprovement
Shader Graph support for UIToolkit Filters.
UI ToolkitImprovement
Improved the performance of undoing and redoing reparenting actions in deep and wide hierarchies.
Undo SystemImprovement
Improved query performance for Collector Types (Any, Closest, All) for query types: Raycast, ColliderCast, Point Distance and Collider Distance, when casting against a MeshCollider. Improvement is particularly observable with Burst enabled.
ScheduleUpdateBroadphase previously overwrote the dynamic-tree update's JobHandle with the static-body change-check handle before scheduling the static-tree update, dropping the dynamic-tree job from the dependency chain, which can cause job safety errors when invoking Unity.Physics systems manually (for example; as is done by Netcode for Entities).
Unity PhysicsImprovement
Added contact hardening (distant-dependent reflections) to Screen Space Reflections for URP. This is controlled by 2 new settings: Contact Hardening Scale and Contact Distance Bias.
URPImprovement
Removed the Visual Scripting package from the 3D URP template to improve Editor startup time.
URPImprovement
Rendering Debugger - Frame Settings - Improved the messaging on Frame Settings, and improved how the configured data is shared among multiple scene cameras.
Reduced memory consumption in Release builds. In Release builds, Profiler.GetTotalAllocatedMemoryLong() and Profiler.GetTotalReservedMemoryLong() now report the size the allocator actually reserved rather than the size that was requested, so a higher value than before does not mean that more memory is used.
VisionOSImprovement
Reduced memory consumption when UnityDefaultAllocator is used in Release builds. Profiler.GetTotalAllocatedMemoryLong() and Profiler.GetTotalReservedMemoryLong() now report the size the allocator actually reserved rather than the size that was requested when UnityDefaultAllocator is used in Release builds, so a higher value than before does not mean that more memory is used.
WebImprovement
Improved performance of issuing async reads with DirectStorage.
WindowsImprovement
Improved performance on loading archive files with DirectStorage enabled.
WindowsImprovement
NVUnityPlugin.pdb is now available inside the Unity installation on disk and on Unity's symbol server.
WindowsImprovementServer
