About unity :
Unity is a cross-platform game engine developed by Unity Technologies, first announced and released in June 2005 at Apple Inc.'s Worldwide Developers Conference as a Mac OS X-exclusive game engine. The engine has since been gradually extended to support a variety of desktop, mobile, console and virtual reality platforms. It is particularly popular for iOS and Android mobile game development and used for games such as Pokémon Go, Monument Valley, Call of Duty: Mobile, Beat Saber and Cuphead. It is cited to be easy to use for beginner developers and is popular for indie game development.[4]
The engine can be used to create three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) games, as well as interactive simulations and other experiences. The engine has been adopted by industries outside video gaming, such as film, automotive, architecture, engineering, construction, and the United States Armed Forces.
Several major versions of Unity have been released since its launch.

About unreal engine :
Unreal Engine is a game engine developed by Epic Games, first showcased in the 1998 first-person shooter game Unreal. Initially developed for PC first-person shooters, it has since been used in a variety of genres of three-dimensional (3D) games and has seen adoption by other industries, most notably the film and television industry. Written in C++, the Unreal Engine features a high degree of portability, supporting a wide range of desktop, mobile, console and virtual reality platforms.
The latest generation is Unreal Engine 4, which was launched in 2014 under a subscription model. Since 2015, it can be downloaded for free, with its source code available on a GitHub private repository. Epic allows for its use in commercial products based on a royalty model, typically asking developers for 5% of revenues from sales, though Epic waives this fee for developers that publish their games through the Epic Games Store. On May 13, 2020, Epic announced that their portion of royalties for games developed in Unreal Engine are waived until developers have earned their first US$1 million in revenue, retroactively applying to January 1, 2020. Unreal Engine 5 is scheduled for full release in early 2022.
It is popular among PC and console games with high graphics capabilities and is used for numerous games, as well as finding further use in filmmaking and other business applications .

Difference between them :
Both Unity and Unreal are used to create games on the market, but in different ways. First, Unity is the most popular engine for indie developers and mobile games. ... Epic Games (developers of the Unreal Engine) on the other hand, have developed many games such as: Fortnite and Gears of War using the Unreal Engine.

Differences Between Unity and Unreal Languages: Unreal engine uses C++ and Unity uses C#. C# is considered suitable for game development than C++, So unity is faster. ... Graphics: Both tools have good graphics but the unreal engine is preferred over-unity because of its graphic quality.
What you should use?
In my personal opinion I would say if you are a beginner you want to learn the game development and you don’t care much about the graphics then you should use UNITY .
Unity uses C# coding language which is easy to learn and also unity is easy to use and totally customizable .
And if you are a pro at game development and know how things works and you want to make something with cool graphics then you should try Unreal engine .
