Is Unity CU VR worth it? The Crydd Verdict
CS 83Choose it if
You want to work in VR/AR specifically, and you need a structured way to prove the basics before you have shipped an XR project.
Consider alternatives if
Your target is conventional games — take the Programmer track instead; VR is a narrower hiring pool.
Why we say so
Immersive-tech hiring is growing but still small, so recognition is moderate even where the skills are genuinely scarce.
Market demand
XR roles are concentrated in a handful of studios, enterprise-training vendors and hardware makers. The skills are scarce, but the number of open roles is far smaller than mainstream game or web development.
