Question 1

What changes are happening?

Accepted Answer

Unity will institute changes in 2026 to make the free tiers for Unity Version Control and Unity Build Automation more generous. Unity is changing these plans to allow you to build for iOS on the free tier of Build Automation with 100 Mac build minutes (on top of the 200 build minutes we already include for Free when building for Windows). Plus, 25 GB of storage (up from 5 GB), and 100 GB of free egress. Additionally, there will no longer be charges on Unity Version Control seats for public cloud. We expect these changes to go into effect by the end of Q1, 2026.

Question 2

When will these changes go into effect?

Accepted Answer

We expect these changes to go into effect by the end of Q1, 2026.

Question 3

How much public cloud storage will be included in DevOps pay-as-you-go free tiers?

Accepted Answer

The free allocation of cloud storage will be raised from 5GB to 25GB. Billing for storage will be measured in GB rather than GB-Hours to make usage simpler to comprehend. This cloud storage is shared across your Unity Version Control repository as well as Build Artifacts for Unity Build Automation.

Question 4

What does this change mean for Unity Version Control on the public cloud?

Accepted Answer

The previous limit of 3 free seats for Unity Personal users will change to unlimited. The current 1:1 seats limit for Unity Pro, Enterprise, and Industry will be removed as well.

Question 5

What will be the impact on on-prem pricing for Unity Version Control?

Accepted Answer

These planned changes do not impact on-prem pricing for Unity Version Control.

Question 6

Are there new limits or charges I should be aware of for Unity Build Automation?

Accepted Answer

Unity Build Automation supports concurrent builds for multiple platforms. With this update, free-tier users will now also be able to build for iOS and macOS, with 100 Mac build minutes included. Additionally, a new billable meter for Egress consumption (outbound data transfer) is being introduced. You will receive a 100 GB free limit for Egress; usage beyond that threshold will be charged. If you exceed a free-tier limit and do not have a payment method on file, your access will be blocked immediately until a credit card is added.

Question 7

Will credit card be required to use Unity Version Control or Unity Build Automation?

Accepted Answer

Anyone who possesses a Unity ID will be able to start using either service immediately within the free tier, with no credit card or checkout flow required. You can track your usage and costs within the free tier and will receive notifications when they are approaching or exceeding limits (e.g., at 50%, 75%, 90%, and 100% of consumption). If you cross a free-tier limit, access is blocked immediately. You can then unblock access by adding your credit card through the checkout flow for pay-as-you-go usage.

Question 8

What is Unity Version Control?

Accepted Answer

Unity Version Control is Unity’s source control tool, which offers optimized workflows for artists and programmers and superior speed working with large files and binaries.

Question 9

What is Unity Build Automation?

Accepted Answer

Unity Build Automation is Unity’s CI (Continuous Integration) tool designed for multiplatform builds in the cloud across Desktop and Mobile.

Question 10

Is Havok Physics for Unity still included with Unity Pro and Enterprise seats?

Accepted Answer

Unity will no longer offer entitlement nor first-party support for Havok Physics for Unity starting with Unity 6.3 LTS. Starting with Unity 6.3 LTS, the Microsoft Havok team can continue to offer an integration of Havok Physics for Unity as a regular third-party extension publisher. From that point onward, requests regarding availability, roadmap, pricing, and support for Havok Physics for Unity should be directed to the Microsoft Havok team.

Question 11

If I am using an older version of Unity, will I still have access to and support for Havok Physics for Unity?

Accepted Answer

Yes, technical support continues for users of Havok Physics for Unity in Unity 2022 LTS or Unity 6.0 LTS for the remainder of those LTS durations. However, if you migrate to Unity 6.3 LTS or a future version, Unity will no longer support or include Havok in 6.3, and any questions should be directed to Microsoft Havok.

Question 12

Will there be any changes to Pro and Enterprise subscription pricing in 2026, and if so, when would those take effect?

Accepted Answer

We will be making adjustments to Unity pricing and packaging in line with last year’s commitment to predictable, annual price adjustments. Unity Pro and Enterprise will see a 5% price increase, starting January 12th, 2026.

Question 13

Am I required to use a certain plan based on how much revenue I make?

Accepted Answer

Unity Pro is required if you have over $200,000 in total annual revenue and funding. Unity Enterprise is required if you have over $25 million in annual revenue and funding. Even if you make less than these thresholds, you can purchase Unity Pro and Unity Enterprise subscriptions at any time to take advantage of the many additional features they offer.

Question 21

When do the financial thresholds apply?

Accepted Answer

Editor Software Terms apply to all Unity Editor users of all Unity plans (Unity Personal, Unity Pro, Unity Enterprise, and Unity Industry) and all Editor versions.

Question 23

Can I choose to stay on the previous Editor Software Terms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can continue using the prior accepted version of the terms for as long as you keep using that named version of Unity Editor (e.g., an upgrade from 2022.1 to 2022.2 is the same named version).

Accepted Answer

Yes. Unity may update subscription prices for users who are on current and prior versions of Editor Software Terms. Any price changes will only apply upon purchase or renewal of your plan.

Question 26

Why is the Unity Runtime still mentioned in the terms?

Accepted Answer

The Unity Runtime is a product that forms a core part of Unity’s offering. It’s the portion of Unity Software intended for distribution. As a result, it’s mentioned in the terms as a product and not in the context of the Unity Runtime Fee.

Question 27

Where can I go to learn more about previous changes to the Editor Software Terms?

Accepted Answer

You can view the current and previous Editor Software Terms on our GitHub repository, or unity.com/legal. Other terms may apply based on the products and services you’re using. When we update any of our terms, we post a summary of the changes under the heading “What’s changed,” and include a link on each page to the preceding version of these terms.

Question 28

What was the Runtime Fee for games, and why is Unity canceling it?

Accepted Answer

The Runtime Fee was a pricing model intended to apply to games generating significant revenue based on use of the Unity Runtime. As of September 12, 2024, we decided to cancel it based on extensive analysis and deep consultation with our games customers – to better align with the needs and expectations of the developer ecosystem that relies on Unity.

Question 29

When is the cancellation of the Runtime Fee effective?

Accepted Answer

The cancellation of the Runtime Fee is effective immediately, and will not apply to any games made with Unity 6 or any other version of Unity.

Question 30

How will my Unity projects be affected by this change?

Accepted Answer

The cancellation of the Runtime Fee does not affect any Unity games, since it was not implemented. No new or existing Unity games have been, or will be, subject to the Runtime Fee.

Question 31

What if I have already budgeted for the Runtime Fee?

Accepted Answer

If you have made specific budget forecasts or commitments for your games based on the Runtime Fee, you no longer have to account for those costs, but you may need to account for pricing changes for Unity Pro and Unity Enterprise plans effective January 1, 2025.
