In Unity, the "Made with Unity" splash screen appears by default in the free version of the engine. However, starting from Unity 5.6, this splash screen can be removed by purchasing a Unity Plus or Unity Pro license.
Unity is a powerful game development engine that allows developers to create interactive experiences for various platforms such as PC, consoles, mobile devices, and even virtual reality. The "Made with Unity" splash screen is a way for Unity Technologies to promote their engine, letting players know that a particular game was made using Unity. It provides recognition for the engine and can be seen as a form of advertisement.
The ability to remove the "Made with Unity" splash screen is one of the benefits of upgrading to a paid license. Unity Plus and Unity Pro offer additional features and services, such as performance reporting, analytics, and cloud-based build services, along with the removal of Unity branding. By purchasing one of these licenses, you gain the ability to customize the splash screen or even completely remove it, allowing for a more professional and personalized game presentation.
It is important to note that removing the "Made with Unity" splash screen does not mean you can remove the Unity logo from the game completely. As per Unity's EULA (End-User License Agreement), the Unity logo must still be displayed prominently within the game's main menu or on the game's credits screen, regardless of the license you have.
To summarize, if you want to remove the "Made with Unity" splash screen, you will need to upgrade to either Unity Plus or Unity Pro license. These licenses offer additional features and the ability to customize or remove the Unity branding. However, it is essential to comply with Unity's EULA and display the Unity logo within your game as required.
