Key highlights include: consolidating to URP as the single render pipeline (with HDRP staying stable and built-in being deprecated in 6.5), new URP features like real-time global illumination, screen space reflections, and better shadows coming in 6.7 LTS. AI tools in beta include level design assistance, profiler analysis, UI generation from sketches, scene annotations, checkpoint/rollback safety, and MCP support for third-party AI models. The CoreCLR migration roadmap continues, with the desktop player arriving in 6.7 and full editor integration in 6.8, bringing .NET 10 and C# 14 support. Web platform improvements include burst-compiled C# jobs, compute shaders, and memory increases up to 16GB. Unity 6.4 is expected to release at GDC. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
