Off-Screen Culling: Implementing culling for objects outside the screen can significantly boost performance by not rendering objects that are not visible to the player. This allows for easier optimization and maintenance. This can be done by checking the position of objects relative to the camera or viewport before rendering them.

Unity’s Frustum Culling and Depth Rejection techniques help reduce the amount of geometry processed by discarding objects outside the camera’s view or hidden by others. GPU Occlusion Culling adds another layer of optimization by skipping objects that are occluded by other elements in the scene, thus reducing unnecessary vertex processing.

In fact, hardware transitions frequently served to thin the herd, with the cost increase being the final blow that saw many struggling publishers and developers shut their doors; the first couple of years of a new console generation could be generally expected to see such a cull. Read more.

Before getting into the GPU side, several optimizations have been done on the CPU side: Culling is now done in a brute-force way which is extremely cache efficient. Everything in the main frame is culled at the same time, objects, light cascades, SDFGI cascades, etc. These test do culling on 10k objects.

It lacks the ability to process mesh in a coarser grain than triangle, like meshlet culling. The underlying idea of the algorithm is, in the first place, to do culling, then draw the effective parts of mesh. With MeshShaders, the culling algorithms we use can be of great flexibility.

What's more likely to happen is that they fund initial prototypes for several new game ideas, then approve the more promising ones and cull the rest.

I have also set up Culling Mask so that the camera captures only the things with the correct layer. It’s good to change Clear Flags to Solid Color and select black, so that everything not rendered by our camera remains in this particular color, and then set opacity for black to 0. This is not obligatory though, you can also render everything.
