## About

Cross-platform game engine for creating 2D, 3D, and interactive content

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, with Unity's own support page citing United States government restrictions. Volunteers have contacted Unity since February 2026 through several channels, and Unity has twice confirmed a review is under way, in April 2026 and again on 25 August 2026, without answering whether the restriction is legally required or its own policy.

## Community reports

- 2026-08-25 — Under Company Review. Unity's growth support team replied the following day, thanking the sender for the additional context on the sanctions update and stating that Unity is currently looking into the matter with its legal team and will respond once it has an answer. No timeline was given and neither of the two questions was answered. Unity told a different volunteer in April 2026 that it was already actively reviewing the regulatory changes, so this is the second confirmed review in five months, reached through a different support channel, while the restriction on publishers in Syria remains in place.
- 2026-08-24 — Follow-up Sent. A community volunteer wrote again to Unity's growth support team at growth-support@unity3d.com, asking the company to reconsider and clarify the basis for its restriction on publishers located in Syria. The email noted that the comprehensive United States sanctions programme was revoked effective 1 July 2025 and that the former Syria Sanctions Regulations are no longer in effect, so United States persons are generally no longer prohibited from providing financial services to Syria where the parties involved are not otherwise sanctioned. It acknowledged that Unity may maintain internal compliance policies going beyond what sanctions require, but pointed out that Unity's earlier reply had described the inability to verify Syrian publishers as a location based restriction required by applicable sanctions. It therefore asked Unity to state plainly whether the restriction is currently required by United States law or OFAC regulations or is a separate internal Unity policy, and to provide that policy if it is internal.
- 2026-04-01 — Under Company Review. Unity's Customer Service Team responded to the unblocking request via support.unity.com. The response acknowledged the documents shared regarding U.S. sanctions on Syria and confirmed that Unity is actively reviewing the recent regulatory changes to evaluate how they apply to Unity's products and services. The representative stated that access from Syria will remain restricted while this evaluation is ongoing, but noted that the feedback and supporting documentation have been recorded as part of the review. This is a substantive human response engaging with the sanctions context rather than an automated acknowledgment.
- 2026-03-05 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer submitted a compliance review request to Unity via their support portal at support.unity.com (ticket #3064511). The request asked Unity to review the country-level restriction on Syria in light of the 2025 termination of the Syria Sanctions Program (EO 14312), the OFAC removal of Syrian Sanctions Regulations, and the BIS License Exception SPP. Three regulatory documents were attached: US Sanctions and Export Controls Relief for Syria, EU legal acts lifting economic sanctions on Syria, and EU Sanctions FAQ November 2025 Update on Syria.

- 2026-03-05 — Company Responded. Unity's Customer Experience Team responded with an automated ticket acknowledgment for ticket #3064511. The response confirmed receipt and indicated a Customer Experience Advisor would review and respond. Unity noted high volume causing significant delays in response times. The response is a standard automated acknowledgment, not a human review.

- 2026-03-05 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer separately emailed Unity's Data Protection Officer directly at dpo@unity3d.com requesting a compliance review of the current access restriction affecting users in Syria. The email referenced Unity's own support documentation acknowledging that the platform remains unavailable and that Unity is reviewing recent regulatory developments. The volunteer provided details on the May 2025 OFAC sanctions termination and EU sanctions lift, and emphasized the importance of Unity access for developers, students, and technology professionals working to rebuild Syria's digital and creative industries.
- 2026-02-28 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer submitted a compliance review request to Unity via their support portal at support.unity.com. The request asked Unity to review the current service restrictions affecting developers in Syria in light of the December 2025 lifting of the U.S. comprehensive Syria sanctions and the subsequent removal of sanctions by both the United States and the European Union. The volunteer referenced OFAC's sanctions program update and provided supporting documentation from unblocksyria.com/resources, emphasizing Unity's role in supporting Syrian creators working to rebuild the country's digital and creative industries.
- 2026-02-07 — Evidence Added. Unity's support page confirms Syria is blocked: "Your country is blocked due to U.S. Government restrictions." Unity states they are reviewing recent changes to US sanctions on Syria but access remains restricted until that evaluation is complete.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
