Godot adoption rate is rapidly growing, both in number of released games and used in game jams. On Steam it's also noticeable Unity share is decreasing while Unreal and Godot both growing. I think in 5-7 years Unity might be closer to 50%. www.youtube.com/watc...

What's New in Android & XR – Godot Engine Recap of the Android & XR updates during GodotCon 2025

An update from the team behind the Android and XR side of the project 📱

Fredia shares some numbers, the status of the Android and the XR editors, hybrid apps, Android APIs integrations and more!

godotengine.org/article/godo...

And we're making it simpler for developers to integrate with Android APIs and libraries.

We're adding support for building Hybrid apps, applications that can switch between flat or immersive mode, to the Godot editor.

The XR editor is up to 20K downloads and we're expanding its reach by adding support for Pico and Meta Quest 2 devices!

A few interesting notes from the post:

The Android editor is up to 1.2M downloads with ~87% installs on phones and ~10.6% on tablets and Chromebook. The majority of downloads (26%) originates from Brazil + India.

If you can, please consider a donation. Creating free game assets takes a looooot of time and unfortunately (what a surprise huh?) isn't the most profitable. It does really help, and I'd like to do this for another 10 years at LEAST. ✨
