Windows 10 Universal Apps

Unity Engine

Hi there!
Is there any way to create Universal Windows Plattform Apps (UWP Apps) for the Windows 10 App Store? As far as I can see Unity only supports Windows 8.1 Store Apps, which seems not to be the same thing.

  • If it’s possible: How can I do it?
  • If not: Are there any plans to support UWP as a target in Unity?

Thanks!

Hi,

Windows 10 Universal Apps will be supported in Unity 5.2, which is current in beta.

Great to hear :slight_smile:

Thanks!

Will there be backward support for 4.6 or not?

4.6 is on the end of its support, it’s definitely not getting new features. So there will be no Windows 10 Universal Apps in Unity 4.6. It has to be a pretty serious bug fix to get into 4.6 right now.

hm sry to hear… it is still buggy on win phone…
No working Network…
No System.IO
Handheld.Vibrate ???
What’s about cross platform ???
How long should we wait???
and so on… lot of missing things… duhhhhh
and you promised it all last year… so big marketing but nothing behind…
i’m really really impressed how Unity3d change to the bad side like i promised 5 years ago!
All is happening now.

Handheld.Vibrare and most of System.IO works on Windows phone since Unity 5.0, which came out 5 months ago.

Networking is supported since Unity 5.1, which came out 2 months ago. What’s not working about it?

Pointless post, what bad side?, They just adding Windows 10 support as you see in the forums, this is cross platform…As for the other features many things got added to Unity 5 for Windows, of course the whole list was not written in changelogs but many new features.

Soooo, I got a game published for Android already… and now I want to publish it in the Windows Store for Windows10.
Can I do it, right now, if I want it to be on desktop version of Windows?
Or should I wait until Unity 5.2 will come out?
I want to publish it mainly for Windows 10 desktops as of now.
Because right now, there are not many games in the Windows Store, so for the small one-man-indie-warriors like me its an UNBELIEAVABLE chance to get in the market and make some user base…

Unity, come on, make some magic and push our little games to the people.

If you want to go to Windows Store today, you’ll have to target Windows 8.1. Don’t worry though! Games in the windows store targeting Windows 8.1 work perfectly fine on Windows 10.

To target Windows 10 exclusively, you’ll have to wait for Unity 5.2 to come out next month.

I am aware that it will work perfectly, but will it be available in the store for someone who has Windows 10 installed in their PCs? Right now I do have Windows 10 and when I go to puzzle category there are only 16!! games… its unbelievable opportunity to get in… so that’s why I’m asking about windows10. If i’ll target it as Windows 8.1 and I’ll push it to the store, it will be shown only in the stores of Windows 8+ but not in Windows 10? Right?

I run Windows 10 as well, and when I click on puzzle section, it seems like it defaults to “new and rising” - that’s kind of featured section, which only a few games make to. If I remove the filter, I get an endless list of games it seems. And I can confirm I see games made with Unity targeting Windows 8.1.
