Speed up your release timelines
Unity Version Control is a scalable, engine-agnostic version control and source code management tool for game development studios of all sizes. Built with powerful Plastic SCM technology, Unity Version Control offers optimized workflows for artists and programmers and superior speed working with large files and binaries. See how our users have leveraged this technology to create without compromise.
Plastic SCM is now Unity Version Control, a component of Unity DevOps
Unity Version Control web experience in the Unity dashboard
New Unity Version Control web experience
Unity Version Control users now have access to powerful VCS functionality directly from the Unity web dashboard. You can onboard and grant permissions to new users, view content across both org and repo levels, and kick off and conduct code reviews without downloading or opening a separate client.
For programmers
Minimize conflicts and accelerate production with powerful branching and merging capabilities. Work centralized or distributed with a system built to handle large files and repos.
For artists
Created for more than just code, Unity Version Control minimizes conflicts with locking to let you work independently in a separate workspace connected to your main project repo.
For Git users
Unity Version Control just works. Migration is simple, so you can work with big files out of the box and commit carefree. Everyone can use it – regardless of technical skill level.
For Perforce users
A solution that works for the whole team. Keep devs happy with robust branching and merging, plus the ability to work distributed while enabling simpler artist and non-dev workflows.
“The speed of pulling and pushing sizable repos is impressive, and the system is considerably faster than our previous solution. The UI is intuitive for both developers and artists.”
“We have done some really, really huge merges over the years – the kind of merges that you would have ended up having to do by hand with other tools. It just works.”
Version control integrations
Unity Version Control works with any engine and easily integrates into your DevOps toolchain. It plays well with tools for issue tracking, communication, collaboration, CI, IDEs, and more.

Frequently asked questions
No, you can combine Unity Version Control with almost any other software in your stack to unlock a powerful VCS. However, the Unity Version Control package for Unity makes using version control within the core game engine extra intuitive.
To begin using Unity Version Control, you need to sign up for the service using your Unity account. You can find a helpful guide for getting started in the Unity Editor or another engine here. If you have more questions before you get started, please feel free to contact us.
Unity Version Control is a hosted, multi-tenant, cloud-based server that organizations can use to store their Plastic repositories in the cloud.
Unity Version Control is source control for game development teams working with large repositories and files who only need a cloud server (and optional local cloned repos). You can push/pull (or directly check in) to a cloud server. Unity Version Control includes the client and the cloud service.
You’ll need a Unity DevOps subscription to store your repositories in our hosted service.
Unity Version Control is our new brand for Plastic SCM. It is still the same great solution with all of the features you have come to enjoy, simply under a new brand name.
No. Unity Version Control is a hosted service that runs in the cloud. The version control client can be downloaded locally, but still connects to the cloud service.
