The growth was driven primarily by its 'Grow' division, which saw a 69% revenue increase fueled by developer spending on Vector AI, Unity's AI-powered advertising platform. The game engine 'Create' division grew only 2%. Net loss narrowed dramatically to $23 million from $108 million a year prior. CEO Matthew Bromberg described the results as an 'inflection point,' pointing to a flywheel effect where more Unity-made games attract more players, improving the AI ad platform's targeting. Unity stock rose 20% to $42 per share following the earnings release. Looking ahead, Unity is preparing the Unity 7 rollout, which includes a collaborative ecosystem feature allowing game updates without opening the full engine. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
