Unity 2020.2 Beta Released

Unity 2020.2 beta is here and given the released number of releases that Unity are going to do annually, that makes this a more significant release than in the past. This beta release includes several system level and quality of life improvements including:

• Support for C# 8
• Dark Mode IDE support (this was actually added to previous versions as well)
• C# compiler and IL2CPP compiler improvements
• EIP, or Editor Iteration Profiler, to help identify bottlenecks during domain reloads
• Unity Safe Mode for troubleshooting script errors on startup
• Profiler improvements
• New localization and UI design packages
• URP and HDRP pipelines both improved
• VFX Graph output events (lights, sounds, physics and custom C# code call-outs)
• Shader Graph
• New UI designer tools
• 2D tools streamlined, repackaged and improved
• Support for Apple ARM on desktop architecture
• Much, much more.
