# Feature comparison table
|
||
|
||
This table provides an overview of the current features supported in the Universal Render Pipeline (URP), compared to the Unity Built-in render pipeline.
|
||
|
||
**Note:** If a feature is marked __In research__, the URP team is still researching how and when to implement the feature. If a feature is marked as __Not supported__, it's because Unity is not planning to support it in any release.
