Unity is a powerful development environment for making 2 and 3d games. It is widely used so there are lots of resources available online. It is also free software so can be downloaded on personal computers at no cost. If you are downloading it onto your computer then it is recommended you download Unity Hub (download link).
At school in 2025 we use Unity version 6000.0.34
If you use a different version at home your project may not be able to be loaded anymore on school computers.
