PlayerPrefs
is a class that stores Player preferences between game sessions. It can store string, float and integer values into the user’s platform registry.
Unity stores PlayerPrefs in a local registry, without encryption. Do not use PlayerPrefs data to store sensitive data.
Unity stores PlayerPrefs
data differently based on which operating system the application runs on. In the file paths given on this page, the ExampleCompanyName and ExampleProductName are the names you set in Unity’s Player Settings.

- Linux: ~/.config/unity3d/ExampleCompanyName/ExampleProductName
- WebGL: Unity stores up to 1MB of PlayerPrefs data using the browser's IndexedDB API. For more information, see IndexedDB.

key. Note that Windows uses the key names from the application’s PlayerPrefs as a hashed identifier. For example, Unity adds a DeckBase
string to the hashed key name (for example h3232628825
) to create DeckBase_h3232628825
. Unity hashes the names because it:
The application ignores the extension.
DeleteAll | Removes all keys and values from the preferences. Use with caution. |
DeleteKey | Removes the given key from the PlayerPrefs. If the key does not exist, DeleteKey has no impact. |

GetInt | Returns the value corresponding to key in the preference file if it exists. |
GetString | Returns the value corresponding to key in the preference file if it exists. |
HasKey | Returns true if the given key exists in PlayerPrefs, otherwise returns false. |
Save | Saves all modified preferences. |
SetFloat | Sets the float value of the preference identified by the given key. You can use PlayerPrefs.GetFloat to retrieve this value. |
