You know the time has come for your game to run outside of the Unity Editor. Unity adopts the “Build once, deploy anywhere” strategy, and is currently supporting more than 20 platforms.

Here, the term “Build once” may not be accurate though. We actually have to do a build for each of the platform we want to run on, just without the need to modify anything in our game project.

Let’s take a look at the popular PC build:

Exeuting a build for PC:

go to File> Build Settings

Configuration:

  • Target Platform: Windows
  • Architecture: x86_64

Optionally, you can open Player Settings… in the bottom left corner and set any relevant values:

Finally, click the Build button.

Once the build is completed, you will find the game executable .exe file in your selected folder.

Now you can share your creation with the world or start some play-testing.
