What is the purpose of the Empty GameObject?

[Durga]

I’m pretty new to the whole Unity engine and I would like to know what is the main purpose of the ‘Empty’ GameObject. My first language isn’t English so maybe I missed some explanation on the Sandbox video but if anyone can clarify this to me, it would be very helpful. Thanks!

Hi @Durga,

An Empty GameObject may serve several uses but typically they act as a container. There’s some links below which may also provide some information for you.

Thanks for that info! Makes sense now.
