The Asset Store supports packages in the asset package (

.unitypackage

) format, and in the Unity Package Manager (UPM) format.

Both package types have their advantages, as follows:

Asset packages: Best for one-off imports or sharing assets without setting up a package registry and requires fast one-off iterations. It is suited for content assets such as 3D models, UI elements that end players interact with. For more information about publishing

Unity Package Manager (UPM) packages: Can be versioned, and excluded from source control. Use UPM when you need
