Compatibility
It’s worth while to point a few compatibility benefits of using global snow. VR is supported but only in Deferred mode with multi-pass stereo, to ensure it works correctly. Global Snow is compatible with both Xbox one and the PlayStation 4. Due the limitations in URP, this asset only works in the built in pipeline so it is not compatible with SRP/URP and HDRP. We do not recommend using global snow on mobile devices. Try this plugin with the topdown engine.
