Learn how to create Unity projects locally without connecting to Unity Cloud services.
This guide is perfect for users who prefer not to use cloud-based gaming or integration tools. After installing Unity Hub and Editor, simply navigate to the Projects tab, select your desired template and Editor version, and choose "Create new local project" under the Project name dropdown. Follow these steps to create your project offline.
Symptoms:
- I need to create Unity projects without connecting to Unity Cloud services.
- I want to create an offline project.
- I don't want to use Unity Cloud Services when creating a new project.
Cause:
By default, Unity Hub attempts to connect new projects to Unity Cloud services so that all users can seamlessly integrate Unity's wide range of cloud services.
However, if you do not want to use gaming services or other cloud offerings, you can create a local project disconnected from the Unity Cloud.
Resolution:
It is possible to set up your project disconnected from the Unity Cloud. To do this, you must first have the official Unity Hub installed. Once you have completed the installation process, follow the steps below:
- Launch Unity Hub and select Projects from the left side menu
- Click the New project button
- Select your Editor version that you installed through the hub and preferred template for the project.
- Click the Project name dropdown and scroll to the bottom. Click the name of your project as it appears under the Create new local project heading.
- Enter your project name and choose your project location.
- Click Create project to launch the Editor with a local-only project.
Note:
The exact UI elements may vary slightly between Unity Hub versions, but the option to create local projects without cloud integration remains available.
For additional support while creating a new project, you can access Unity's support resources through the Unity Hub or visit the Unity Support Portal.
