Hi!

Maya 2022 is Maya 2021, but because of the delayed release it was renamed to be in line with the other Autodesk products.

CGChannel has a good summary http://www.cgchannel.com/2021/03/autodesk-ships-maya-2022

Maya 2022 already? What happened to Maya 2021?
If you’re wondering about the version number, with the release, Autodesk has skipped straight from last December’s Maya 2020.4 to Maya 2022, leapfrogging Maya 2021 entirely.

That brings Maya back into line with 3ds Max, which is numbered one year ahead of the actual calendar year.

Both apps get updated at the same rate – one new release roughly every three months – so there are no ‘missing’ Maya updates, despite the break in numbering in the Maya public product timeline.
