Unity is canceling the Runtime Fee, effective immediately
After extensive consultation with our games community and customers, we’ve decided to cancel the Runtime Fee.
This means there will be no Runtime Fee associated with games created with any version of Unity, including Unity 6 when it releases later this year. Unity 6 is the most stable and performant version of Unity to date, and we want everyone to be able to access it without hesitation.
Changes to subscription plans in 2025
We will continue with our seat-based subscription model. We’ll be introducing changes to our subscription plans in 2025, and, for the first time in two years, we’ll be updating subscription pricing, which we will revisit annually. These pricing updates will take effect on January 1, 2025 and apply to new and current Unity Pro and Unity Enterprise subscriptions upon purchase, renewal, or upgrade. Unity Personal will remain free.

Democratizing game development is central to Unity’s mission. By canceling the Runtime Fee, we reaffirm our mission and partnership with the community.
Unity Personal will remain free, and we’re doubling the revenue and funding limit from $100,000 to $200,000 when Unity 6 is available later this year, so more creators can use Unity at no cost. For projects made with Unity 6, the splash screen will be optional.
Unity Pro’s pricing will be updated for the first time in over two years. Annual pricing will increase from $2,040 to $2,200 per seat.
Unity Enterprise pricing will increase by 25%. This plan is available to all, and will be required for companies with over $25 million of annual revenue and funding. We will reach out to these customers and partner with you on a customized package for your unique needs.
