i’m really happy about the 2021.2 m1 native.
but what about the 2020 LTS? we have so many projects on 2020, and upgrading several machines to M1 max… do you know if Unity with backport the silicon editor to 2020 also?

thank you. so, the current, and maybe definitive, answer is: NO. it’ll be silicon on >= 2021.2

As the linked post says, we currently don’t plan to do it. Porting 2021.2 editor to Apple silicon took over a year and involved many, many changes to our codebase. While initially we said we might do it, at that time we didn’t have a full picture of what would be required to pull it off and it’s just too much.

i understand… and i agree: better to focus on >= 2021.2. we’ll try to upgrade from 2020 LTS to 2021 LTS, then

thank you and good work!
