Finding new packages to purchase on the Asset Store

When you open the Asset Store in a web browser, the main page displays several thumbnail images which represent some of the sales and promotions that Unity is offering. There are also some suggestions, such as most popular and recommended Asset Store packages.

You can browse through the suggestions, or search for something specific. If you are looking for a specific type of asset, you can use any of these searching, filtering, and sorting methods alone or in combination:

    • Search for something specific, such as “fox family”.
    • Search for “FBX” to find any packages containing FBX models or tools.
    • Search for “demo” to browse for any packages with “demo” in the title.
  • Choose a collection of related Asset Store packages to browse from the selection menus. For example, you could choose Tutorials from the By Unity collection menu.
  • Select any categories or subcategories in the filter sidebar. For example, you could select the Audio main category checkbox or select its expander and then select the Sound FX subcategory.
  • Use any combination of the items on the filter sidebar to narrow down the Asset Store packages that Unity suggests. For example, setting these options narrows down the list of suggestions to include Unity’s Character, Props, and Environment packs:
