 ### Added
 
+- Added `SinglePlayerTransport` that provides the ability to start as a host for a single player network session. (#3473)
 - When using UnityTransport >=2.4 and Unity >= 6000.1.0a1, SetConnectionData will accept a fully qualified hostname instead of an IP as a connect address on the client side. (#3441)
 
 ### Fixed
