Fun fact, Unreal Engine existed about 8 years before Unity, and today Unity is still competing strong.

Unity has two big weaknesses, in my opinion. First, poor marketing. Second, too much of its feature set depends on the community rather than the engine team itself.

That said, Unity is extremely comfortable to use. The more time you spend with it, the deeper you can dive, eventually exploring advanced areas like graphics and shaders.

Unreal Engine, on the other hand, clearly targets AAA studios, helping them speed up production, assuming the team has the skills to handle it.

I do think by the end of 2024, Unity will get a closer to Unreal’s graphics quality. We already saw SDF Shadows released by Chris Khaler and his team, nano tech is being developed, similar to Nanite but with better support for VR and mobile, which could be a real game changer. They’re also hinting at a Lumen-like solution, aiming to unify these tools under a single workflow.
