Unity's 2021 Gaming Report compiles engine, Ads/Analytics, DeltaDNA, Multiplay and Vivox data and shows clear, actionable shifts: daily active users spike in March 2020 then normalize, HD engagement grows through fall, mobile ad revenue jumps with eCPMs dipped then rebounded and sports category revenue falls, games with ads show slightly better day‑1/7/30 retention, commuter/hypercasual DAU falls while hardcore rises, average season length is 11.2 weeks with a +12.45% peak lift that decays to ~1% by midseason, and many teams outsource matchmaking/voice rather than build in‑house.
