Gaming Unity 5 released with upgrades, full-featured free version

[tom_mai78101]

This morning, Unity releases Unity 5, the latest version of its incredibly popular multiplatform engine.
It comes in two flavors:

• Unity 5 Professional, which adds a number of features new to the latest iteration of the engine (notably, its Cloud Build service package) and its analytics packages, as well as its Team License tools for larger studios.
  
• Unity 5 Personal, which is completely free to developers with revenue or funding less than $100,000 a year, and which includes the full engine (but no advanced services package.)

The only platform (of the 21 which Unity supports) that Personal can't build to out of the box is the Xbox 360. (Developers will also, of course, need valid licenses to publish to the consoles the engine supports.)

This graphic, shown above, provided by Unity, will help make things clear.
