This page contains information on system requirements and compatibility of the Universal Render Pipeline (URP) package.
Unity Editor compatibility
URP is a core Unity package. For each alpha, beta or patch release of Unity, the main Unity installer contains the up-to-date version of the package.
The Package Manager window displays only the major and minor revision of the package. For example, version 17.2.0 for all Unity 6.2.x releases.
You can install a different version of a graphics package from disk using the Package Manager, or by modifying the file.
