Implementation
Attention: The Digital Services Act (DSA) requires Unity to notify our customers’ end users if Unity takes an action that impacts those end users under the DSA. To comply with this requirement, if you use Unity Gaming Services (UGS) products that rely on the Unity Authentication Service, you must integrate the notification API.
For more information on DSA, refer to the Digital Services Act - compliance update.
To make your game compliant, refer to DSA notifications.
