How this number is computed

Composite = sum of sub_score × weight across six metrics. Sub-scores are percentile-rank(log1p(min(raw, p95))) within the alpha cohort (41 releases). Sub-scores for lower-is-better metrics are flipped to 100 − percentile.

iOSChange
Changed NativeList and UnsafeList to preserve only the first Length elements when capacity grows. Data written beyond Length through the raw pointer is no longer retained across a reallocation.
KernelChangeUUM-129943
Changed the Multiplayer Center genre selection screen to show the game genres side by side as cards, each with its architecture, complexity, and cost, so they can be compared at a glance.
MultiplayerChange
NGO (com.unity.netcode.gameobjects) package was updated in the editor manifest to newest major version (3.0.0).
PackageChangecom.unity.netcode.gameobjects
"ManifoldPoint.normalVelocity" is now only guaranteed to be measured when the shape is bouncy or hit events are enabled, and can read zero otherwise.
Physics 2DChangeUUM-154721
"PhysicsComposer.AddLayer", "PhysicsComposer.ToPolygons", "CircleGeometry.ToPolygons" and "CapsuleGeometry.ToPolygons" now log the standard validation warning instead of throwing "ArgumentOutOfRangeException" when given no geometry, fewer than three vertices or an invalid "curveStride".
Physics 2DChangeUUM-156367
Setting "PhysicsWorld.maximumLinearSpeed" or "PhysicsWorldDefinition.maximumLinearSpeed" below "PhysicsConstants.MinMaximumLinearSpeed" now raises it to that minimum.
Physics 2DChangeUUM-154721
Loading a prefab or scene that stores prefab data in the format written by Unity 3.3 and earlier now logs a deprecation warning naming the asset. Save the asset to store it in the current format.
PrefabsChange
Changed the Editor so that it emits C# compiler warnings for immutable packages, such as packages installed from a package registry. Warnings from these packages now appear in the Console window and the Editor log.
ScriptingChange
UNITY_64 preprocessor symbol no longer gets defined when building for any platform.
ScriptingChange
Changed text serialized files so they begin with a %UNITY format version directive, which makes an earlier version of Unity report an explicit error when opening a file saved in this version instead of loading it with missing data.
SerializationChange
Text serialized files such as scenes and prefabs no longer start with a %UNITY 7.0 line, so Unity 6 can open them again, and files saved with that line still load.
SerializationChange
Reflected function fallback keys now use the fully qualified signature (this will not impact correct usage of the ProviderKey hint).
ShadergraphChange
UnityEditor.Rendering.CoreBuildData.developmentBuild is now an error to use instead of a warning. It was already obsolete since Unity 6.6 and always returned false. Use UnityEditor.Rendering.CoreBuildData.useDiagnosticChecks instead.
SRP CoreChange
The URP sample template no longer includes a copy of the TextMesh Pro essential resources and uses the built-in resources from the uGUI package instead.
TextMeshProChange
Built-in USS filter functions with missing or wrong-typed arguments now use the filter's default values and log a warning instead of an error.
UI ToolkitChangeUUM-155773
Changed Constant Physical Size panels to account for the Game view's Low Resolution Aspect Ratios setting when resolving scale.
UI ToolkitChange
Changed theme style sheets to rank above Unity's built-in styles regardless of selector specificity; the previous behavior can be restored with the Legacy Theme Priority setting in Project Settings > UI Toolkit.
UI ToolkitChange
Changed touch dragging of ScrollView content on world-space panels so the content follows the finger pixel for pixel, regardless of the Pixels Per Unit setting.
UI ToolkitChangeUUM-139596
Importing localization shared table data that has two entries using the same key now renames the duplicate and logs a warning.
UI ToolkitChangeUUM-151766
The Editor theme style sheet is now applied to the root of the Editor window panel instead of EditorWindow.rootVisualElement, so it no longer appears in rootVisualElement.styleSheets.
UI ToolkitChange
UI Toolkit runtime panels no longer discard input events when the application is not focused; whether input is delivered while unfocused is now controlled by the input settings.
UI ToolkitChange
Changed how the batching runs for the completion of any remaining DebugDraw jobs still running from the previous frame in, before the streams are cleared for re-use. This may improve performance when using DebugDraw
Unity PhysicsChangeUUM-152608
Moved Light Falloff Mode from the URP Asset to Graphics Settings.
URPChange
Removed a warning displayed at build time in specific Light setup that is breaking build determinism for Content Directory builds.
URPChange
Removed a warning displayed at build time in specific XR setup that is breaking build determinism for Content Directory builds.
URPChangeXR
Renamed the Light Falloff Mode option from Linear to Quadratic.
URPChange
