According to Unity's announcement, 'Unity Personal' will continue to be available for free under the new pricing system. In addition, the terms of use will change from 'annual revenue/funding amount of less than $100,000 (approximately 14.1 million yen)' to 'less than $200,000 (approximately 28.3 million yen),' so the number of users who can use it for free will increase.
In addition, starting with 'Unity 6,' scheduled for release in 2024, it will be possible to choose whether or not to display the 'Made with Unity' splash screen.

In addition, the 'Unity Pro' plan, which is for customers with annual revenue or funding of more than $200,000, will be offered at $2,200 (approximately 311,000 yen) per seat (per user) per year.
In addition, the Unity Enterprise version, aimed at customers with annual revenue and funding of more than $25 million (approximately 3.53 billion yen), will be increased by 25%, although the specific price has not been announced. For this reason, the company plans to contact each customer in the next few days to discuss customization packages.
According to the game news site Game Developer, Unity is trying to get back on track by hiring former Zynga COO Matthew Bromberg as CEO in May 2024, and is aiming to re-establish a partnership based on trust by canceling the unpopular 'Unity Runtime Fee.'
'By delivering value in the right way, at the right price, we will continue to be a partner you can trust and help you build your long-term business,' said Bromberg in a statement. 'I'm confident that by maintaining our partnership and providing great software and services, we can achieve even greater things together.'
