I want to take the opportunity to celebrate the editor is still not fully Apple Silicon native and yet requires the installation of Rosetta. Big applause to the non-support of something that’s almost 10 years old. Bravo ! [Capture d’écran 2025-11-23 à 11.40.03]

Rosetta 2 was released with macOS Big Sur in November 2020, five years ago. A bit strange to call this “almost 10 years old”. Nowadays, all of Unity’s own components are Apple Silicon native. I suspect the holdouts are legacy libraries that are there for backwards compatibility, which I think is fi…

Are you sure, you downloaded the right version? [Screenshot 2025-11-25 at 15.53.19]

Not the original post author, but I can confirm that even today, in 2026, even the latest alpha version does not run without Rosetta 2 despite it showing up as Apple Silicon in the Installs list. Somewhat obviously, the 6.3 LTS version does not run either. [Screenshot 2026-01-27 at 15.18.26] I wo…

[image] joerlane: Allowing anything to run x86_64 code behind your back will affect performance if your system, and that is simply unacceptable to some users. Well, then you went wrong choosing Unity in the first place. Go write your own engine all in hand-crafted assembly, you can’t compromi…

This is also happening for me on a new MacOS and unity install with the latest “Apple Silicon” 6000.3 release. I hope they’re working on it, because Rosetta 2 be discontinued by MacOS 27 :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth:

I don’t think that is the case. I upgraded my Mac to 26.4.1 and it started warning about Unity having x86 software – I already have Rosetta installed since I bought my M1 Max Mac, so this is Apple’s last warning before Rosetta is removed by macOS 27. Activity Monitor showed that UnityPackageManager …

UnityPackageManager is already native Apple Silicon from at least Unity 6.3. Running the latest 6.3 version, I don’t see any Intel processes during regular use of the editor. Unity 6.0 is supported until October (or October 2027 if you’re on an Enterprise / Industry license). Rosetta will be remove…

Oh I see. I don’t know why it was drilled into my head that Rosetta was going away as soon as macOS 27.

All is fine. As always, Unity doing their job of not doing anything. Let’s wait a few more years. [CleanShot 2026-05-31 at 06.51.59@2x]

This thread was just posted:

“Intel components will be deprecated beginning in Unity 6.6, and Unity 6.7 LTS will be the last release to include them.”

The Unity 6.6 Alpha has been out for a while.
