Multiplayer Center provides you with recommendations on tools and services relevant to your project, and Distributed Authority for Netcode for GameObjects which helps achieve greater simulation complexity and run more players in a session without the complexity (or cost) of a dedicated server. To help you onboard to the Distributed Authority network and understand how to use Netcode for GameObjects, download the all-new Asteroids Bitesize Sample. Additionally, we have a new tutorial that’ll help you create a simple Hello World multiplayer project that includes the basic features of Netcode for GameObjects.Be on the lookout for these packages that will be moving to prerelease soon, and download the Unity 6 Preview today to get started.Make your own multiplayer wavesWe hope you’re as excited for Multiplayer Summer as we are.
