To download the Unity Editor, create a Unity ID at login.unity.com, then download and install Unity Hub from unity3d.com/get-unity/download. After installing Unity Hub, sign in, select "Installs" "Install Editor," choose the desired version and modules, then install. If needed, older versions are available at the Unity Download Archive. After installation, activate a Unity license to use the Editor.

 

To use the Unity Editor, users must have a Unity ID account. If you do not have an account, you can create one at login.unity.com.

After creating a Unity ID account, follow the steps below to download and install the Unity Hub and Editor. If you have already installed the Unity Hub and need additional Editor versions, jump to Installing the Unity Editor.

Installing the Unity Editor

New Onboarding Experience (as of August 14th, 2025):

  • The user interface has been updated for a smoother onboarding experience.

  • Upon first login, the Hub will automatically start downloading the latest available version.

  • Creating an initial project is simplified and can now be done in one click, with the "Getting Started in Editor" tutorial readily available.

  1. Launch the Hub and sign in to your Unity account.
  2. Select Installs > Install Editor.
  3. Select the blue Install button to the right of the Editor version you want to use.
  4. Select the modules you want to use > select the blue Install button to continue.
If you cannot find the version(s) of the Editor you want to use within the Unity Hub, you can download them from the Unity Download Archive.
 
Note: If the Hub installation doesn't complete successfully or you encounter errors, deselect all modules from your download and try only installing the Editor. You can download the modules separately later.

After installing the Unity Hub and Editor, you need to activate a Unity license to work with Unity. For more information, see the article, 'How do I activate my license?'.
