Unity 6.1 pre-release - engagement guidelines & release announcements

Hi everyone,

We’re excited to share our alpha and beta releases of Unity 6.1 with you in this thread for early testing.

Through the 6-1-alpha tag, you can discuss 6.1 pre-releases with us and the wider community on Unity Discussions. Our goal in sharing these pre-release versions is to identify and resolve remaining issues, improving overall quality before the official release.

Details The purpose of the alpha and beta phases is to ensure that everything is working as expected before the developed Unity version is officially released. You can help by providing us with information about your user experiences.

If you discover that something is not working as expected, there are some measures you can take to get the issue addressed.

Assess the situation

Primary actions

Secondary actions

  • Was the issue already reported by someone else, but you want to make sure your case will be covered by a fix?
  • Is there an existing forum thread about the issue?
    • Reply with a description of your case. If not, start a new thread referencing your bug report’s Issue ID.

For more specific information, please have a look at this detailed guide to bug reporting in the context of the alpha & beta.

Guidelines for posting with the 6-1-alpha tag:

  • Reference issue IDs when you start a new thread about a bug. If a bug doesn’t have an ID yet and is unknown, make sure to submit a bug report first before writing about it here.
  • Please keep separate issues in separate threads and avoid bundling, otherwise, the thread diverges really fast and becomes hard to track. It is OK to start multiple threads consecutively.
  • Please make the effort to ensure that the posted issue is the same as yours before assuming “me too”.
  • Topics that are not clearly related to a 6.1 feature/bug/regression shouldn’t be tagged with 6-1-alpha. A bug still being present in 6.1 is not a valid use case for this tag.

Bear in mind that forum responses are not necessarily immediate, particularly as Unity engineers and users are located worldwide and do take weekends off.

If you have any questions or other feedback regarding the pre-release and its features, be it positive or negative, please let us know about it.

Thanks for participating in the alpha/beta!
