Unity Version Deep Compare & Visual Explorer
Visual-first compare: scores, heatmap, ranked subsystems, package deltas (illustrative), and deep links to Unity’s manuals — with a stable shareable URL. Heuristic only; confirm against official sources.
How to use it
Choose Version A and B, then scan the summary and heatmap. Open the Official sources tab for What’s New, manuals, and Scripting API in both doc versions. For a ordered migration checklist, use the{" "} Unity 6 Upgrade Wizard.

Synthesized summary
- Comparing 2022.3 LTS → Unity 6.3 LTS (cross-generation jump — budget time for rendering, packages, and scripting).

- Heuristic diff score 100/100 and upgrade risk 100/100 — not a guarantee; validate against your project, CI, and target hardware.
- Official Upgrade to Unity 6 guides apply when leaving 2022/2023 for Unity 6 — open the linked manuals.
- Package table uses illustrative bundled versions — always diff `Packages/manifest.json` in your repo.

FAQ
- Is this a live scrape of Unity release notes?
- No. Scores and the heatmap are heuristics from version distance and a curated catalog. Verify every insight using the linked official Unity documentation and release pages.
- Are package versions exact for my editor build?
- The package table uses illustrative bundled versions for selected editor lines. Always compare your own Packages/manifest.json and lockfile before upgrading.
- Can I share a comparison with my team?
- Yes. Use Copy share link (query params from/to) or export Markdown and CSV from the tool.
- Where are Unity 6 vs 2022 LTS upgrade guides?
- The Official sources tab links What’s New pages, manuals, Scripting API roots, and Unity’s upgrade guide hub. Pair this tool with the Unity 6 Upgrade Wizard on this site for a step checklist.
