What version of Unity does VRChat use

VRChat is a social virtual reality platform that allows users to create, publish, and explore virtual worlds and experiences. It supports a range of VR devices, including Oculus Rift, Oculus Quest, and HTC Vive.

VRChat is built on the Unity game engine, and the specific version of Unity that VRChat uses depends on the version of VRChat that you are using. As of September 2021, the latest version of VRChat is 2021.1.5, which uses Unity 2020.1.17f1. It is possible that VRChat may have updated to a newer version of Unity since that time, so you should check the VRChat website or documentation to confirm the exact version that is being used.
