From award winners and nominees for The Game Awards, Unity Awards, MWU Korea Awards 2023, and more to everything in between, the Unity community has accomplished a lot in the past year. As we kick off a new one (Happy New Year, by the way), let’s reflect on all the amazing games released over the past 12 months.
To the best of our abilities, here’s a non-exhaustive list of games made with Unity and launched in 2023, either into early access or full release. This is a long list, so we’ve attempted to categorize projects by genre (19 in all, including Action, Comedy, Horror, Metroidvania, and Survival) to make it easier to parse. Of course, many titles aren’t so easy to categorize – like horror-fishing sim DREDGE, management-adventure-RPG Dave the Diver, or the DREDGE x Dave the Diver hybrid. Hopefully, you can find something that inspires what you’re making or playing in 2024 and beyond.
For additional fun, see which made with Unity games you can spy in this year-end list from NPR.
