A little background. This is not something we do often. In fact, we haven’t updated our subscription pricing since it launched in 2016. 

A lot has changed since then. Tens of thousands of games and experiences are made with Unity each year, and millions of students, hobbyists, and Indies have free access to Unity until they become commercially successful. We’ve invested across all dimensions of the product such as building new features and services, improving the quality of releases, widening our platform reach, and adding premium learning resources. While we've made great strides, there is so much more we want to deliver. Watch out for our next release, free new sample games and tutorials, and more value to be added to the subscription plans. We’re staying committed to doing whatever it takes to inspire, equip, and educate our amazingly talented, dedicated, and growing community. This change will help us do that.
