# Unity overview

> Build XBOX and Windows titles in Unity using the XBOX add-on granted through ID@XBOX to package, sign in, and connect to platform features from the editor.

This path is for teams building their game in **Unity**. You'll install the XBOX add-on for Unity (granted through ID\@XBOX) that lets Unity package for XBOX and connect to platform features — you can stay inside the Unity editor for most of your work.

<Tip>
  **Is this the right path for you?** Pick this if your game is a Unity project. Using something else? Try [Unreal](/paths/unreal/overview) or [community engines](/paths/community-engines/overview). Not using an engine at all? Pick a device path like [XBOX Series X|S](/paths/series-xs/overview) or [Windows & ROG XBOX Ally](/paths/windows/overview).
</Tip>

* **ID\@XBOX onboarding complete** — see [ID@XBOX onboarding](/home/onboarding).
* **Dev PC ready** — see [Setup & install](/home/setup-install/get-started).
* **A working Unity project** (Unity 2022 LTS or later).
* **XBOX GDK plug-in for Unity** granted via ID\@XBOX. See [Unity setup](/build/gdk-and-engines/unity/unity).
* **Partner Center product** with the appropriate device rows checked.
