The new fee structure will apply in the United States, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. The per-install fees for the paid subscription tiers are also subject to 'volume discounts' for heavily installed games, going down as low as $0.01 per install for games that are installed 1 million times per month. Users of Unity's Pro and Enterprise tiers (which charge a separate annual subscription for access to a more full-featured Unity Editor) will pay slightly smaller per-install fees starting at $0.125 to $0.15 after a game reaches $1 million in annual revenue and 1 million total installs. Those on the Unity Personal tier (which includes free basic Editor access) will be charged $0.20 per install after an individual game reaches $200,000 in annual revenue and 200,000 lifetime installs. The newly introduced Unity Runtime Fee-which will go into effect on January 1, 2024-will impose different per-install costs based on the company's different subscription tiers.
