Accessing the Asset Store

There are three ways you can access the Unity Asset Store:

  • Open the Asset Store window by selecting Window→Asset Store from the main menu within Unity.
  • Use the Shortcut key (Ctrl+9 on Windows / ⌘9 on Mac OS)
  • Browse the web interface: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/

You may be prompted to create a free user account or sign-in if it is your first time accessing the Unity Asset Store.

Purchasing Assets

After accessing the Asset Store and viewing the asset you’d like to download, simply click the Download button. The button text may also be Buy Now if the asset has an associated cost. Unity Asset example

If you are viewing the Unity Asset Store through the web interface, the Download button text may instead display as Open in Unity. Selecting this button will launch an instance of Unity and display the asset within the Asset Store window.

You may be prompted to create a free user account or sign-in if it is your first time purchasing from the Unity Asset Store.

Unity will then proceed with accepting your payment, if applicable.

Importing Assets

After the asset has been downloaded in Unity, the Download or Buy Now button will change to Import.

Selecting this option will prompt the user with a Import Unity Package window, where the user may select the asset files of which they’d like to import within their project.

Select Import to confirm the process, placing the selected asset files inside the Assets folder shown in the Project View window.
