    I can't create a Physics Material 2D because it does not appear in the menu in 2020.2. See the screenshot below. There is only the 3D version. It is there in 2019.4 but not in 2020.2. I am using the standard 2D template.

    I had similar problem with another 2D feature, but after updating packages (Package Manager), it appeared.

    Thanks for highlighting this! Yes, there was a bug/issue where the Sprite Package had to be installed first for the Physics Material 2D to be available. It should be fixed by now. :)

    From Unity versions 2020.2 and after, the Physics Material 2D can be accessed via Assets > Create > 2D > Physics Material 2D.

    This was in efforts to streamline and gather all the 2D menu items in one convenient location - the 2D folder.

    This is not fixed, but thanks for pointing out that it can be created after installing the sprites package. As of Unity 2020.3.2f1 there is still no way to create Physics Material 2D without first installing the sprite package.

    if you took a look at the bug report above you'd see that it has been fixed in 2021.2, 2021.1 and is still pending backport to 2020.3.x (basically waiting to land in the release stream).

    It's not a bug that needs solving. It's no longer like that. You should read the above and post an image of it not being there in the 2D sub-menu shown above and your package manager.

    Currently experiencing the same issue on 2020.3.20f1. I have the 2D Sprites package installed and in my project however the Physics Material 2D is not appearing (Not pictured but it also does not appear in the Create > 2D subfolder). I've tried removing and reinstalling the package but that didn't work.

    You will need to ensure the Physics 2D Module is enabled and it will appear under the 2D menu item.

    I have checked to make sure that Physics 2D is enabled through the package manager, it is, and this bug still occurs when trying to create a Physics 2D material within the project window.

    Can you please show a screenshot of the menu?

    This isn't a bug, it was moved as I'm sure you've already read above.

    I did see that it was moved... in the menu. Under 2D. No bugs, all good in the hood!
