Unity Hub is the standalone application that handles Unity Editor installations and projects on Windows. The download goes to the official server public-cdn.cloud.unity3d.com; we do not host the file. Unity Technologies Inc. publishes it as a free tool under a proprietary license.
A launcher for Unity Editor versions, not an editor
Unity Hub does not build games itself. Its job is to manage several installations of the Unity Editor side by side, create new projects, and give you access to existing work.
The current build is version 3.22.5.65535, released on October 28, 2026. It requires Windows 10 or later and takes up 184.1 MB.
What a session with the Hub looks like
You open the Hub, pick a project from your list, and launch it with the Editor version it needs. If that version is not installed yet, you download it from within the Hub.
Starting something new follows the same path: choose an installed Editor, create the project, and open it.
Where Godot, GDevelop and the others differ
The alternatives are Godot Engine, GDevelop, LOVE, LDtk, Krita and Tiled. Most of them are engines or content tools in their own right, while Unity Hub only launches and organizes Unity itself.
If you already work in Unity, the Hub fills a role none of these replace.
