Unity 2021 Long Term Support Extended

To ensure customers are able to create games with sufficient development time before upgrading, projects currently being built in Unity 2021 Long Term Support (LTS) will have extended LTS support until the release of Unity 6, later this year.

Officially, support for Unity 2021 Long Term Support (LTS) ended in May 2024, two years after its release in 2022. This is aligned with the processes as outlined in the documentation under which we release our Unity Engine versions.

As part of our ongoing efforts to ensure our users always have the right options for their project, we assessed the current state of support for all of our released (and soon-to-be released) versions of the Unity Engine.

Here's the rundown:

1. Unity 2021 LTS. Fully supported up to the release of Unity 6, later in 2024. Enterprise customers will receive an additional year of support.
2. Unity 2022 LTS. No change. Fully supported until at least May 30, 2025. Enterprise customers will receive an additional year of support.
3. Unity 6 Preview. No change. Fully supported as a Tech stream release until the release of Unity 6, later in 2024.
4. Unity 6. Fully supported for at least two years from its release. Enterprise customers will receive an additional year of support.

When we announce the date of release for Unity 6, we will update this list with specific dates for Unity 2021 LTS and Unity 6.

Providing peace of mind to our users is a top priority. This change in support for Unity 2021 LTS allows studios to continue to work on their current project, while looking forward to building their next project in Unity 6.

As always, we encourage feedback. Please visit Unity Discussions to keep the conversation going.
