This page details the Player settings specific to the Universal Windows platform. For a description of the general Player settings, see Player Settings.
You can find documentation for the properties in the following sections:
Use the Icon settings to customize the branding for your app on the Windows Store.
Expand the Store Logo section to specify the image that appears on the Store description page for the application. You can add up to eight different resolutions.
Customize the general appearance of your Windows Store tiles with these settings:
Ajuste | Función: | |
---|---|---|
Short name | Set an abbreviated name for the app. | |
Show name on | Indicate each icon image you want the name to appear on: Medium Tile, Large Tile, or Wide Tile. | |
Foreground text | Choose whether you want to use Light or Dark text on the app’s Tile. | |
Background color | Specify what color you want to use for the background. | |
Default Size | Choose what size you want to use as the default size for the Tile. | |
Not Set | Don’t use a default size. | |
Medium | Use a medium size. | |
Wide | Use a wide size. |
Unity copies these options directly to the Package.appxmanifest file.
Specify the images your tiles display on the Windows Store with these settings:
Ajuste | Función: |
---|---|
Square 44x44 Logo | Set a 44x44 logo image to use on the app’s tile. You can set up to 10 resolutions. |
Square 71x71 Logo | Set a 71x71 logo image to use on the app’s tile. You can set up to 5 resolutions. |
Square 150x150 Logo | Set a 150x150 logo image to use on the app’s tile. You can set up to 5 resolutions. |
Square 310x310 Logo | Set a 310x310 logo image to use on the app’s tile. You can set up to 5 resolutions. |
Wide 310x150 Logo | Set a 310x150 logo image to use on the app’s tile. You can set up to 5 resolutions. |
Use the Resolution and Presentation section to customize aspects of the screen’s appearance.
Ajuste | Función: |
---|---|
Default is Fullscreen | Set the window to the full-screen native resolution of the display. Unity renders app content at the resolution set by script (or by user selection when the built application launches), but scales it to fill the window. When scaling, Unity adds black bars to the rendered output to match the aspect ratio chosen in the Player settings, so that the content isn’t stretched. This process is called letterboxing. |
Run In background | Enable this option to make the game keep running (rather than pausing) if the app loses focus. |
Transparent Swapchain | Sets AlphaMode on the swap chain to DXGI_ALPHA_MODE_PREMULTIPLIED. This setting is only used for UWP projects that use the XAML build type. By enabling this setting, you can compose Unity content with other XAML content in your application. For more information, see the PlayerSettings.WSA.transparentSwapchain. |
Choose the game’s screen orientation from the Default Orientation drop-down menu:
Ajuste | Función: |
---|---|
Portrait | Orient the screen so that the device’s Home button appears at the bottom. |
Portrait Upside Down | Orient the screen so that the device’s Home button appears at the top. |
Landscape Left | Orient the screen so that the device’s Home button appears on the right side. |
Landscape Right | Orient the screen so that the device’s Home button appears on the left side. |
Auto Rotation | Screen orientation changes with device orientation. This is the default. |
When you set the orientation to Auto Rotation, the Allowed Orientations for Auto Rotation section appears.
This section is only visible when Default Orientation is set to Auto Rotation.
Because Auto Rotation changes screen orientation to match the device, you may want to limit the screen orientations allowed (for example, locking a device to landscape).
Enable each orientation you want to allow by checking its box in this section:
Ajuste | Función: |
---|---|
Portrait | Permite la orientación portrait |
Portrait Upside Down | Permita la orientación vertical hacia abajo. |
Landscape Right | Permita la orientación horizontal del paisaje (botón de inicio en el lado izquierdo). |
Landscape Left | Permite la orientación landscape izquierda (botón de inicio está en el lado derecho). |
Above the common Splash Screen settings, the Player Settings settings allow you to specify splash images for the Universal Windows platform.
Use the Virtual Reality Splash Image property to select a custom splash image to be displayed in Virtual Reality displays.
Below the common Splash Screen settings, there are a few additional sections:
Set the foreground image you want to use in your app’s splash screen. You can add up to seven different resolutions.
Use these settings to customize the holographic splash image for Mixed Reality applications.
Set a Holographic Splash Image to appear during startup. This image appears for five seconds (or until the app finishes loading).
A Mixed Reality headset needs to build world-locked coordinate systems from its environment, in order to allow holograms to stay in position. Tracking loss occurs when the headset loses track of where it is (can’t locate itself) in the world. This leads to a breakdown in spatial systems (spatial mapping, spatial anchors, spatial stages).
When this happens, Unity stops rendering holograms, pauses the game, and displays a notification. You can customize the notification image that appears by enabling the On Tracking Loss Pause and Show Image property, and then selecting the image to display with the Tracking Loss Image property.
For more information, see Recommended settings for Unity.
The common Splash Screen settings allow you to set the Background Color for when no background image is set, which applies to all platforms.
To override this for the Universal Windows platform, you can enable the Overwrite background color property and then use the Background color setting to choose a different color.
This section allows you to customize a range of options organized into the following groups:
Use these settings to customize how Unity renders your game for the Universal Windows platform.
Ajuste | Función: | |
---|---|---|
Color Space | Choose which color space should be used for rendering: Gamma or Linear. See the Linear rendering overview for an explanation of the difference between the two. |
|
Auto Graphics API | Disable this option to manually pick and reorder the graphics APIs. By default this option is enabled, and Unity uses Direct3D11. | |
Static Batching | Enable this option to use Static batching. | |
Dynamic Batching | Enable this option to use Dynamic Batching (activated by default). | |
GPU Skinning | Enable this option to use DX11/ES3 GPU skinning. | |
Graphics Jobs (Experimental) | Enable this option to instruct Unity to offload graphics tasks (render loops) to worker threads running on other CPU cores. This is intended to reduce the time spent in Camera.Render on the main thread, which is often a bottleneck. Note: This feature is experimental. It may not deliver a performance improvement for your project, and may introduce new crashes. |
|
Lightmap Streaming Enabled | Enable this option to load only the lightmap mip maps as needed to render the current game Cameras. This value applies to the lightmap textures as they are generated. Note: To use this setting, you must enable the Texture Streaming Quality setting. |
|
Streaming Priority | Set the lightmap mip map streaming priority to resolve resource conflicts. These values are applied to the light map textures as they are generated. Positive numbers give higher priority. Valid values range from –128 to 127. |
|
Use Display In HDR Mode | Enable this checkbox to make the game automatically switch to HDR mode output when it runs. This only works on displays that support this feature. If the display does not support HDR mode, the game runs in standard mode. | |
Swap Chain Bit Depth | Select the number of bits in each color channel for swap chain buffers. You can select Bit Depth 10 or Bit Depth 16. The option to choose bit depth only becomes available when HDR Mode is enabled. For further information on bit depth see the Scripting API page for D3DHDRDisplayBitDepth. |
Ajuste | Función: | |
---|---|---|
Scripting Backend | The scripting backend used by the build. | |
IL2CPP | Unity’s .NET runtime. This is the only option available for Universal Windows Platform. | |
API Compatibility Level | There are two options for API compatibility level: .NET 4.0, or .NET Standard 2.0. Tip: If you are having problems with a third-party assembly, you can try the suggestion in the API Compatibility Level section below. |
|
C++ Compiler Configuration | Choose the C++ compiler configuration used when compiling IL2CPP generated code. Note: This property is disabled for the Universal Windows platform because it is chosen in generated Visual Studio project. |
|
Use incremental GC | Use the incremental garbage collector, which spreads garbage collection over several frames to reduce gc-related spikes in frame duration. | |
Accelerometer Frequency | Define how often to sample the accelerometer. If you choose Disabled, then no samples are taken. Otherwise, you can choose from 15Hz, 30Hz, 60Hz and 100Hz frequencies. | |
Active Input Handling | Choose how you want to handle input from users. | |
Input Manager | Use the traditional Input settings. | |
Input System (Preview) | Use the Input system. The Input System is provided as a preview package for this release. To try a preview of the Input System, install the InputSystem package. | |
Both | Use both systems side by side. |
You can choose your mono API compatibility level for all targets. Sometimes a 3rd-party .NET library uses functionality that is outside of your .NET compatibility level. In order to understand what is going on in such cases, and how to best fix it, try following these suggestions:
Frameworks/Mono/lib/mono/YOURSUBSET/
.Setting | Function | |
---|---|---|
Scripting Define Symbols | Set custom compilation flags. For more details, see the documentation on Platform dependent compilation. | |
Additional Compiler Arguments | Add entries to this list to pass additional arguments to the Roslyn compiler. Use one new entry for each additional argument. To create a new entry, press the ‘+’ button. To remove an entry, press the ‘-’ button. When you have added all desired arguments, click the Apply button to include your additional arguments in future compilations.The Revert button resets this list to the most recent applied state. |
|
Suppress Common Warnings | Disable this setting to display the C# warnings CS0169 and CS0649. | |
Allow ‘unsafe’ Code | Enable support for compiling ‘unsafe’ C# code in a pre-defined assembly (for example, Assembly-CSharp.dll ). For Assembly Definition Files ( .asmdef ), click on one of your .asmdef files and enable the option in the Inspector window that appears. |
|
Use Deterministic Compilation | Disable this setting to prevent compilation with the -deterministic C# flag. With this setting enabled, compiled assemblies are byte-for-byte identical each time they are compiled. For more information, see Microsoft’s deterministic compiler option documentation. |
|
Enable Roslyn Analyzers | Disable this setting to compile user-written scripts without Roslyn analyzer DLLs that might be present in your project. | |
Use Roslyn Reference Assemblies | Disable this setting to the compiler not to skip compilation reference assemblies when the metadata of the assembly does not change. |
Other Optimization Settings for the Universal Windows Platform Player
Ajuste | Función: | |
---|---|---|
Prebake Collision Meshes | Enable this option to add collision data to Meshes at build time. | |
Keep Loaded Shaders Alive | Enable this option to prevent shaders from being unloaded. | |
Preloaded Assets | Set an array of Assets for the player to load on startup. To add new Assets, increase the value of the Size property and then set a reference to the Asset to load in the new Element box that appears. |
|
Managed Stripping Level | Choose how aggressively Unity strips unused managed (C#) code. | |
Normal | Remove unreachable managed code to reduce build size and .NET/IL2CPP build times. | |
Aggressive | Run UnityLinker in a less conservative mode than normal, reducing code size even further than what Normal can achieve. However, this additional reduction may come with tradeoffs. For more information, see ManagedStrippingLevel. | |
Vertex Compression | Set vertex compression per channel. For example, you can enable compression for everything except positions and lightmap UVs. Whole Mesh compression set per imported object overrides where vertex compression is set on objects. Everything else obeys these vertex compression settings. | |
Optimize Mesh Data | Enable this option to remove any data from Meshes that is not required by the Material applied to them (such as tangents, normals, colors, and UVs). | |
Texture MipMap Stripping | Enable this option to enable mipmap stripping for all platforms, which strips unused mipmaps from Textures at build time. Unity determines unused mipmaps by comparing the value of the mipmap against the Quality Settings for the current platform. If a mipmap value is excluded from every Quality Setting for the current platform, then Unity strips those mipmaps from the build at build time. If QualitySettings.masterTextureLimit is set to a mipmap value that has been stripped, Unity will set the value to the closest mipmap value that has not been stripped. |
Select what type of logging to allow in specific contexts.
Check one box that corresponds to each Log Type (Error, Assert, Warning, Log, and Exception) when running scripts (ScriptOnly) , all the time (Full), or never (None).
Enable the Clamp BlendShapes (Deprecated) option to clamp the range of blend shape weights in SkinnedMeshRenderers.
Use these settings to customize building your Universal Windows app. These options are organized into the following groups:
Unity stores these settings in the Package.appxmanifest file when creating a Visual Studio solution for the first time.
Note: If you build your project on top of the existing one, Unity doesn’t overwrite the Package.appxmanifest file if it’s already present. That means if you change any of the Player settings, you need to check Package.appxmanifest. If you want to regenerate Package.appxmanifest, delete it and rebuild your project from Unity.
For more information, see Microsoft’s documentation on App package manifest.
Supported orientations from Player Settings are also populated to the manifest (Package.appxmanifest file in Visual Studio solution). On Universal Windows Apps, Unity resets the orientation to the one you used in the Player settings, regardless of what you specify in the manifest. This is because Windows itself ignores those settings on desktop and tablet computers.
Tip: You can always change supported orientations using Unity scripting API.
Ajuste | Función: |
---|---|
Package name | Enter the name to identify the package on the system. The name must be unique. |
Package display name | The Product Name value that you set at the top of the Player settings appears here. This is the name of the app as it will appear on the Windows Store. |
Version | Enter the version for the package using a string in quad notation: Major.Minor.Build.Revision. |
Publisher display name | The Company Name value that you set at the top of the Player settings appears here. This is the user-friendly name of the publisher. |
Streaming Install | Enable this option to create a AppxContentGroupMap.xml manifest file containing streamable Assets for the Scene. To include Scene Assets by default, use the Last required scene index setting. Assets in Scenes with a scene index above the Last required scene index are specified as streamable in the manifest file. |
Last required scene index | Enter the index number from the Scenes In Build list on the Build Settings window that corresponds to the last scene in that list that must be present in the game build. For an application to start, Unity requires any scene index at or less than the specified index. To require all files in the list, use the index of the last scene in the list. Scenes with a greater scene index must include shared Assets for Scenes with a lesser index. The order of scenes in the Build Settings dialog may be important to allow the application to locate the required assets. Note: By default, the Streaming Install option is disabled, which means that this setting is not available. To make this property editable, enable the Streaming Install option first. |
Every Universal Windows App needs a certificate which identifies a developer.
You can click the Select button to choose your certificate file (.pfx
) from your local computer. The name of the file you selected appears on the Select button.
If you don’t have a certificate file already, you can generate a file in Unity:
Click the Create button. The Create Test Certificate for Windows Store dialog window appears.
Enter the name of the package publisher in the Publisher text box.
Enter the password for the certificate in the Password text box and then again in the Confirm password text box.
Click the Create button.
The window closes and the Certificate section displays the name you entered for both the Publisher and Issued by values. The Expiration date is set to one year from the time you created the certificate.
If you enable Streaming Install, Unity generates an AppxContentGroupMap.xml
file containing streamable Assets. To include Scene Assets in the AppxContentGroupMap.xml file by default, use the Last required scene index setting, which uses the scene index in the Build Settings dialog. Assets in Scenes with a scene index above the Last required scene index are specified as streamable in the generated manifest. For an application to start, Unity requires any scene index at or less than the specified index.
Scenes with a greater scene index must include shared assets for Scenes with a lesser index. The order of scenes in the Build Settings dialog may be important to allow the application to locate the required assets.
Unity copies these options directly to the Package.appxmanifest file.
The Dispay name value that you set at the top of the Player Settings settings appears in this section. This is the full name of the app.
Enter the text you want to appear on the app’s tile on the Windows Store in the Description text box. This defaults to the Package display name value.
The settings under the File Type Associations, File Types, and Protocol sections allow you to set up your Windows Store app as the default handler for a certain file type or URI scheme.
Under the File Type Associations section, enter the name (lowercase only) for a group of file types in the Name text box. These are files that share the same display name, logo, info tip, and edit flags. Choose a group name that can stay the same across app updates.
If you are setting this up as a file association:
If you are setting this up as an association with a URI scheme, enter the protocol in the Name text box.
For more information, see Auto-launching with file and URI associations (XAML)
Unity receives input by subscribing to events. The Input Source setting defines where (which sources) to get input from. Currently this only applies to mouse and touch input, as keyboard input always comes from CoreWindow.
Valor | Función: |
---|---|
CoreWindow | Subscribe to CoreWindow events. This is the default. |
Independent Input Source | Create Independent Input Source and receive input from it. |
SwapChainPanel | Subscribe to SwapChainPanel events. |
Use the Capabilities section to enable APIs or resources you want your app to access. These could be pictures, music, or devices such as the camera or the microphone.
Capability | Función: |
---|---|
EnterpriseAuthentication | Windows domain credentials enable a user to log into remote resources using their credentials, and act as if a user provided their user name and password. |
InternetClient | Apps can receive incoming data from the Internet. Cannot act as a server. No local network access. |
InternetClientServer | Same as InternetClient but also enables peer-to-peer (P2P) scenarios where the app needs to listen for incoming network connections. |
MusicLibrary | Accesses the user’s Music, allowing the app to enumerate and access all files in the library without user interaction. This capability is typically used in jukebox apps that make use of the entire Music library. |
PicturesLibrary | Accesses the user’s Pictures, allowing the app to enumerate and access all files in the library without user interaction. This capability is typically used in photo apps that make use of the entire Pictures library. |
PrivateNetworkClientServer | Provides inbound and outbound access to home and work networks through the firewall. This capability is typically used for games that communicate across the local area network (LAN), and for apps that share data across a variety of local devices. |
RemovableStorage | Accesses files on removable storage, like USB keys and external hard drives. |
SharedUserCertificates | Allows your app to add and access software and hardware-based certificates in the Shared User store, such as certificates stored on a smart card. This capability is typically used for financial or enterprise apps that require a smart card for authentication. |
VideosLibrary | Accesses the user’s Videos, allowing the app to enumerate and access all files in the library without user interaction. This capability is typically used in movie-playback apps that make use of the entire Videos library. |
WebCam | Accesses the video feed of a built-in camera or external webcam, which allows the app to capture photos and videos. Note: This only grants access to the video stream. In order to grant access to the audio stream as well, the Microphone capability must be added. |
Proximity | Enables multiple devices in close proximity to communicate with one another. This capability is typically used in casual multi-player games and in apps that exchange information. Devices attempt to use the communication technology that provides the best possible connection, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and the Internet. |
Microphone | Accesses the microphone’s audio feed, which allows the app to record audio from connected microphones. |
Location | Accesses location functionality that retrieved from dedicated hardware like a GPS sensor in the PC or derived from available network info. |
HumanInterfaceDevice | Enables access to Human Interface Device APIs. See How to specify device capabilities for HID for details. |
AllJoyn | Allows AllJoyn-enabled apps and devices on a network to discover and interact with each other. |

VoipCall | Allows apps to access the VOIP calling APIs in the Windows.ApplicationModel.Calls namespace. |
Bluetooth | Allows apps to communicate with already paired bluetooth devices over both Generic Attribute (GATT) or Classic Basic Rate (RFCOMM) protocol. |
SpatialPerception | Provides programmatic access to spatial mapping data, giving mixed reality apps information about surfaces in application-specified regions of space near the user. Declare the spatialPerception capability only when your app will explicitly use these surface meshes, as the capability is not required for mixed reality apps to perform holographic rendering based on the user’s head pose. |
InputInjectionBrokered | Allows apps to inject various forms of input such as HID, touch, pen, keyboard or mouse into the system programmatically. This capability is typically used for collaboration apps that can take control of the system. |
Appointments | Accesses the user’s appointment store. This capability allows read access to appointments obtained from the synced network accounts and to other apps that write to the appointment store. With this capability, your app can create new calendars and write appointments to calendars that it creates. |
BackgroundMediaPlayback | Changes the behavior of the media-specific APIs like the MediaPlayer and AudioGraph classes to enable media playback while your app is in the background. All active audio streams will no longer mute, but will continue to be audible when an app transitions to the background. Additionally, app lifetime will be extended automatically while playback is occurring. |
Contacts | Accesses the aggregated view of the contacts from various contacts stores. This capability gives the app limited access (network permitting rules apply) to contacts that were synced from various networks and the local contact store. |
LowLevelDevices | Allows apps to access custom devices when a number of additional requirements are met. |

|
Stereo Rendering Mode | Choose how you want to render for a virtual reality device. | |
Multi Pass | This is the normal rendering mode. Unity renders the Scene twice: first to render the left-eye image; and then again for the right-eye image. | |
Single Pass | Render both eye images at the same time into one packed Render Texture. This means that the whole Scene is only rendered once, which significantly reduces CPU processing time. | |
Single Pass Instanced (Preview) | The GPU performs a single render pass, replacing each draw call with an instanced draw call. This heavily decreases CPU use, and slightly decreases GPU use, due to the cache coherency between the two draw calls. Using this mode significantly reduces the power consumption of your application. | |
WSA Holographic Remoting Supported | Enable this option to use WSA Holographic Remoting. To use this, you must add the Windows Mixed Reality SDK. |
