[Unity](https://unity.com/) is a powerful engine that game developers can leverage to create visually stunning 2D and 3D games. It features a rich [asset store](https://assetstore.unity.com/) and a robust cross-platform integrated development environment (IDE) to streamline and speed up the game development process for creators. 

When selecting a platform to support your game, it’s important that you choose the best gaming engine to suit your needs. Chances are, your decision will most likely come down to [Unreal vs. Unity](https://getstream.io/blog/unreal-unity-engine/).

Unity also features an exceptional UX that comes with a minimal learning curve, so newbies and veterans alike can get started fast and launch their game even faster.
