Unity bets on cloud testing with new Simulation product

inside a virtual environment
This has become a key part of the workflows for robotics startups and self-driving car companies that build technologies that need to be

The product is currently in closed beta, but it allows customers to run simulations on cloud-connected hardware thanks to a partnership

Unity Simulation relies on Google Cloud for running these parallel tests and can make it a bit easier for small customers that want to

For multi-player titles, a tool like this could explore whether new items or power-ups could be combined to make a single user too powerful
