The Unity Hub is a standalone desktop application that’s designed to streamline your experience with the Unity Editor. It serves as a central repository for all things related to Unity, from downloading and managing different versions of the Editor to keeping a list of all projects both on the user device and in the cloud. It also provides you with easy access to official Unity Learn materials. In this workflow, we will download and configure the Hub.

The Hub allows you to manage multiple versions of Unity on your machine without the need to manually configure different folder structures in your program files. It also allows you to quickly uninstall versions you no longer use. To delete a version of Unity with the Hub, simply locate the version you wish to remove in the Installs tab, click on the three dots in the upper-right corner of the version’s tile, and select Uninstall (Figure 05).


To add features to an installed version of Unity, select Add Modules in the same menu.

Figure 05: Click on the three dots in the upper-right corner of the tile for the version of Unity you wish to uninstall.

1. Launch Unity Hub and click the New button in the upper-right of the window (Figure 06)

2. In the new project configuration window, give the project a name and select where it should be saved on your computer.

3. By default, clicking New will create a project for the latest installed version of Unity. To create a project for another installed version of Unity, click the triangle on the New button to show a list of installed versions (Figure 07). Select one to create a new project for that version of Unity.


4. Select the desired template type for the project depending on your needs. The 3D and 2D templates automatically set up both the Scene view and camera to work as they should for the selected project type, while the 3D with Extras and High Definition RP  import the necessary plugins to make the most out of each pipeline (Figure 08).

5. Click the CREATE button to complete your configuration and launch the Unity Editor (Figure 09).
