Unity on Thursday announced the sixth version of its flagship product, Unity Engine, a set of tools that developers use to produce games across a number of devices.
Unity 6 is emphasizing stability, predictable updates and the ability to support hundreds of players in the same virtual world at the same time, Bromberg told CNBC. The company is seeking to rebound from a dark period that's included layoffs, significant losses, a troubled relationship with many customers and a shakeup at the top.
Last month, Unity scrapped its runtime fee. Unity Engine 6 will cost about $2,200 per user per year for companies with revenue of more than $200,000. Negotiable pricing will be available for the largest customers. Unity says it will raise its prices on a predictable annual schedule.
