Unity Build Size Optimization
Large build sizes reduce install conversion.
Players hesitate to download heavy games.
Optimize Textures
Use:
- Compressed texture formats
- Lower resolutions
- Texture atlases
These significantly reduce file size.
Remove Unused Assets
Clean projects regularly.
Delete:
- Unused models
- Demo scenes
- Test textures
Unused assets increase build size unnecessarily.
Code Stripping
Enable managed code stripping in Player Settings.
This removes unused assemblies.
