Is Unity down? User reports indicate possible problems with Unity

Is Unity Down Right Now?

No, Unity’s services are up and running normally right now. Unity Hub sign-in is working, licenses are activating, and the Asset Store is online.

If the editor will not open, the fault is usually local: your Hub install, sign-in state, or project files. The live chart at the top shows the current Unity status.

Is Unity Down for Me or Everyone?

Use the live chart above. A flood of reports suggests a wider Unity outage. If reports are calm, the problem sits with your setup.

Unity has several moving parts, Hub, the license server, the Asset Store, and the editor itself. One piece can fail while the rest work, so test each in turn with the fixes below.

Why Can’t I Activate My Unity License?

License activation talks to Unity’s servers. A firewall, proxy, or strict antivirus can block that conversation. Allow Unity Hub through your firewall, or try activating on a different network.

Personal licenses need renewal now and then. Open Unity Hub, go to the licenses section, and reactivate or return the old license first. A license stuck on another machine blocks new activations.

Clock errors also break activation. Set your computer’s time and date to automatic, license checks fail when the system clock drifts far from real time.

Why Does Unity Hub Keep Asking Me to Log In?

The Hub stores a sign-in token that sometimes corrupts. Sign out fully, close the Hub, and delete its stored session data if the loop continues. Then sign in fresh.

Two-factor codes cause loops when the system clock is off. Sync your clock automatically and try again, authenticator codes depend on exact time.

Also check you are not running two Hub versions. An old Hub left over after an upgrade can fight the new one. Uninstall both, then install the current version cleanly.

Why Is the Unity Editor Crashing?

Editor crashes often trace to the graphics driver. Update your GPU driver directly from the maker rather than your OS update tool, and restart before testing.

A broken project cache crashes one project only. Close the editor, delete the project’s Library folder, and reopen, Unity rebuilds it. This fixes many mysterious single-project crashes.

If every project crashes at startup, reset the editor’s preferences and remove recently added packages. One bad package in the Package Manager can take the whole editor down.

Why Is My Unity Build Failing?

Read the first red error, not the last. Build failures cascade, the first error in the console is almost always the true cause, and the rest are fallout.

Missing SDK pieces fail platform builds. For Android, reopen the Hub’s install modules and confirm the SDK, NDK, and JDK are installed for your editor version.

Antivirus tools sometimes quarantine build files mid-build. Add your project folder to the antivirus exclusion list and build again.

Common Unity Problems and Fixes

Asset Store Will Not Load

Sign in to the same Unity ID in the Hub and in the editor. Clear the browser-style cache inside the Package Manager window, and confirm your network is not blocking Unity’s store domains.

Package Manager Is Empty

The editor cannot reach Unity’s package registry. Check proxy and firewall settings, remove any custom registry entries in the project manifest, and restart the editor.

Editor Freezes on Import

Large assets can take a long while on first import, confirm it is truly frozen via Task Manager or Activity Monitor. If CPU sits idle for ages, delete the Library folder and reimport.

Cloud or Collaboration Errors

Unity’s older collaboration service was retired; projects using it must move to Unity Version Control or another system like Git. Export your project history before switching.

License Keeps Expiring

Reactivate through the Hub while online. Personal licenses need an internet connection to renew, so connect first, open the Hub, and let it refresh before going offline.
