Unity Mobile 3D template - why is it not using URP?

Since URP is out of preview, why is this template added using the built-in 3D renderer, why is it not using URP? Isn’t URP more performant for mobile 2d/3d at this point?

I have been using URP for all mobile projects so far for AR/non AR so I am baffled why 3d built in is default still

Cuz URP is too slow for mobiles

Hi @ROBYER1_1 , We already have plans to provide URP support for Mobile 3D templates as well. We will have them side by side with the Built-in Renderer versions while we work towards making URP the default rendering pipeline.

@BattleAngelAlita , if you have performance degradations on URP mobile as compared to Built-in, can you please report concrete cases so the team can have a look at them. Sample content/projects that can help us reproduce the issues will be super valuable.

Still looking for this, any progress on the template yet?

came here looking for the same info… is there a way to start a 2D project with URP activated by default?

I thought “Mobile 2D” might offer this, however theres no documentation on what “Mobile XD” templates actually contain.

Bump for a 3D URP template for mobile. It’s been a year… It should be relatively easy to adapt the default URP template to mobile, but I can’t find any clear documentation about what’s the diff btw 3D and 3D mobile templates.

Confusing. Better to name it “3D Mobile (Built-In Render Pipeline)” for symmetry with and immediately understanding of it as the Mobile version of “3D (Built-In Render Pipeline)”.

Even in the new Unity 6 Preview, the 3D Mobile (Core) template still uses the built-in render pipeline. For an example project, try building an APK with the default scene in both the Universal Render Pipeline (URP) and the 3D Mobile template. I installed URP from the Package Manager on the 3D Mobile (Core) template and recorded the FPS for each build. On the 3D URP build, I achieved around 40 FPS, while on the 3D Mobile build (both with and without URP), I consistently hit 60 FPS. It was probably more that 60 FPS but unfortunately, my phone caps at 60 FPS.
