Since a game tick is a single loop of the game’s execution and Time.timescale increases the speed of your game, I was wondering if Time.timescale increases the number of tps(ticks/second).
No, it does not. You get one frame as fast as your PC allows or if v-sync is enabled, as fast as your monitor / GPU updates. Though v-sync does not mean that you necessarily reach that update frequency. If the game load per frame is too heavy, of course the update rate would be lower.
Movement in a game is usually time based. That’s why we used Time.deltaTime to “fix” / correct the amount you should move per frame so it adds up to a certain amount per second. Time.timeScale does just scale deltaTime. So it simply increases the amount you would move per frame. So a timescale of 2 means deltaTime would return twice the usual amount. A timescale of 0.5 means half the amount. That’s all.
But I meant updating the game as in physics and animation, Unity says that a frame update happens after every calculation. So, the game updates after every tick. But wouldn’t a game need to update more if time is faster meaning that the CPU does more calculations every second meaning the game would have to tick faster? @Bunny83

And also, what if you don’t use delta time?@Bunny83
