Performance should typically be your top concern whenever you are working on a game. While poor performance isn’t certain to cause your game to fail, it takes an overwhelmingly great experience in order for players to enjoy a game that doesn’t run well.

Fortunately with Unity, keeping track of your game’s performance is pretty easy. All you have to do is open up the built-in profiler, and you’ll have tons of performance data to look through.

So much information!

With the profiler open and your game running, you can watch your game’s performance in real-time. If you need to get even more specific, Unity offers more advanced features using the profiler API: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/LowLevelNativePluginProfiler.html
