I am getting to work on the space shooter tutorial but when I get to the part on changing build settings it tells me to switch to web player but I cant find it for some reason anyone else have this problem? My current version of Unity is 5.4
The Web Player was discontinued some time ago when the browsers stopped supporting plugins and the tutorials haven’t been updated yet. What you want to use for creating a web-based game is called WebGL.

Just be aware that WebGL has some annoying differences and limitations, particularly when it comes to audio. But you probably won’t run into those limitations while doing a beginner-level tutorial.

Yeah I figured I should use WebGL since that was the closest I could get. Kinda annoying that some of these tutorials are somewhat dated but I can manage
Well, just build it for your current platform. Or don’t build it at all (just hit Play within the editor). It really shouldn’t matter; you’re following a tutorial, so I don’t see why you would deploy it anyway.
As for the tutorials, yes, them getting dated is annoying… but I’ll take it if the alternative is a static product that stops improving!

Can you still use the normal Mac,linex and windows for the tutorial?
Of course. You don’t need to build your game at all; you can play it entirely within Unity.
