Unity Asset Store to Delist Assets from Greater China Publishers

Unity will remove assets from publishers based in China, Hong Kong, and Macau from the Unity Asset Store on March 31, 2026, due to updated regional licensing, distribution, and compliance requirements. The move follows a similar decision last year when Unity 6 was pulled from these regions, with developers receiving a customized version based on Unity 2022 LTS.

Impact on Users and Developers

Users who have already purchased assets from affected publishers will still be able to download and use them, but will no longer receive updates or support through the Global Unity Asset Store. Those who purchased assets within the past six months will be eligible for a refund, but will lose access to those assets upon receiving it.

Organizations based in China, Hong Kong, and Macau will lose access to both free and purchased assets on the Global Unity Asset Store after March 31, 2026, and are advised to download all assets before that date to retain ownership.

Unity Provides List of Impacted Assets

Unity has published a list of impacted assets to facilitate users identify which of their purchases may be affected. However, some users have expressed frustration with the process, suggesting that a personalized list of impacted purchases would be more helpful. Unity forum users have voiced concerns about the manual cross-referencing required.

Broader Context: Unity’s Presence in China

This decision comes after Unity previously adjusted its offerings in Greater China, providing a customized version of the engine to developers in the region. Discussions on the Unity forums have raised questions about Unity’s long-term commitment to the Chinese market.
