# 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](https://docs.xbox.com/paths/unreal/overview.md) or [community engines](https://docs.xbox.com/paths/community-engines/overview.md). Not using an engine at all? Pick a device path like [XBOX Series X|S](https://docs.xbox.com/paths/series-xs/overview.md) or [Windows & ROG XBOX Ally](https://docs.xbox.com/paths/windows/overview.md).
