Find packages on the Asset Store

When you open the Asset Store in a web browser, the main page displays current sales promotions and a curated list of Popular Assets.

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

• Search by name or keyword. For example:
  • 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 category of related Asset Store packages to browse from, such as 3D, Audio, VFX, and more.
• If you choose a category, you can refine the results by using the filter sidebar. For example, you can select the Audio main category and then select the Sound FX subcategory.
• Use any combination of the items on the filter sidebar to narrow down the list of Asset Store packages. For example, setting the following options narrows down the list of suggestions to include Unity’s 3D packages for iOS:
  • All Categories: select 3D
  • Unity Versions: select Unity 2019.x
  • Publisher: search for “unity” and select Unity Technologies
  • Platforms: select iOS
• Choose a sort method from the Sort by menu. You can sort by relevance, popularity, rating, publish or update date, name, or price.

Tip: If you need to start over, select clear filters at the top of the filter sidebar to reset all filter options to their default values.
