Gaming is going to be a $2 billion business by 2023, and it's going to keep growing at a swift pace. Millions of new games are coming out every day. Thus, it is important to stand out from the crowd and show off your own unique abilities. There are a lot of game development engines out there that can help you do so.
But most game developers or game development agencies prefer Unity 3D game engine over any other.
Here are the top three important reasons why you should choose Unity 3D as your game engine for your next project:

1) Compatibility

Unity 3D can run on a lot of different operating systems, like Windows, macOS, and Linux. According to Wikipedia, it is compatible with more than 19 different platforms. Professional game developers can easily make games for all kinds of devices. Its graphic rendering feature is awesome and can be used with Adobe Photoshop, 3DS Max, Blender, Open GL, and many others.
Users of Unity can use prebuilt assets. They're amazing and easy to set up. They are available in both free and paid version. You can access Unity asset store here.
Its scripting language is also easy to learn for people who already know JavaScript and C#. Its license is available for free and paid. Its paid version costs only $75 per month.

In the field of computer programming, community support is very important. The more people there are, the better the support. There are more than 2 million Unity 3D developers who can help you.
They are asset creators, gamers, animators, and coders are to help you out with any kind of game problem. Moreover, you can learn from other resources like blogs, live help, issue trackers, and documentation.
Debugging in Unity 3D is a lot easier than it used to be. Since Unity was incorporated earlier, it has grown a lot more than it used to. Many changes have been made by the software developers. As we said earlier, Unity can be used to make both 2D and 3D games. This is something we'll talk about more in the next part.
Because there is a lot of support from the community, it makes it easy for people who are new to start and learn a lot in a short amount of time. Not interested in building at your own? You can hire a good company to do the work for you. Here I have written a blog on it.

3) 2D & 3D Game Development

With the Unity game engine, you can make any kind of game you want. It doesn't matter if it's 2D or 3D. It works best for both. It can also use AR and VR devices to make games that are very fun to play.
In both 2D and 3D, it has a very good interface for making things. But you need a lot more skills to make a 3D game. As a bonus, it comes with a subscription plan that you pay for each month.
If you need 2D or 3D assets, you can also choose them from the Asset Store to meet your needs.
You can make jaw-dropping 3D animations with music effects to make your game more fun. Multiplayer games are hard for game makers to make. But it can be made very rapidly with the Unity game engine.
