Unity 6 has been pulled from sale in China.
As spotted by 80 Level (thanks, PocketGamer), Unity has been removed from shelves across mainland China, as well as Kong Kong and Macau. Unity China has replaced it with a localized version entitled Tuanjie.
According to machine translation, the company said in a statement “Unity 6 and subsequent versions will no longer be provided to Chinese users” in an “adjustment aimed at ensuring that developers can obtain game engine services that are more in line with the needs of the Chinese market.
“In 2025, Unity Engine will continue to upgrade and improve some features of Unity 6, and improve related rendering functions to meet the needs of Chinese users,” the statement added.
“Unity Engine has demonstrated excellent localized service capabilities in the fields of small game solutions, OpenHarmony solutions, HMI car solutions, etc., which can accurately meet the needs of the Chinese market and customers.
“At the same time, Unity China will always attach importance to developer feedback, focus on optimizing pricing strategies for small and medium-sized development teams, launch more friendly licensing solutions, and continue to lower the threshold for creation.”
The engine maker added “Unity 2022 LTS and earlier versions will continue to be supported and maintained by Unity China,” with all ongoing and released projects unaffected.
Earlier this month, Unity pledged to support game developers with “official support for Nintendo Switch 2.”
