Reflection probes identify and create reflections across your scenes. In URP, these can be somewhat hit-or-miss, as the effects can enhance or break a scene’s visuals.

To create a reflection probe go to Gameobject>Light>Reflection Probe.

Drag it to the appropriate location in your scene and then bake the probe.

Probe is holding reflection data after baking.

Positioning of the probe can lead to different quality, depending on the textures it is apply the reflections to.
