Another detail I liked, even if it's a small one, is how the viewport matches the UV Editor visibility options for UV colors, and edge seams. It caught my attention how the UV Editor has changed, and how it includes an extra panel to help make UV creation easier. For example, in the UV Editor normals facing out are colored in blue, while reversed normal are colored in red, and now the viewport reflects that, making it easier to recognize reversed UV normals in the viewport. UV Mapping is very important for any 3D object, but when you work with games, you have to be extra careful, since UVs can help you improve performance, data baking and the creation of texture atlases. You also have the Game Exporter, that lets you export the entire scene, a selection, or a set of objects. However, it saves you time as you don't need to manually browse for the folder every time you want to export something. The export is basically the same FBX export with some game-related configurations.

The 'Send to Unity' command, for example, asks you to set your Unity project, and then allows you to select the desired folder where you want the object to export. For example, you have a dedicated menu command to send to Unity, Unreal Engine or Stingray (Autodesk's own game engine).
