The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

This DLL is the Unity game engine player runtime, validly signed by Unity Technologies ApS. None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged it, it appears in a known-good software reference set, and it has been shared by over 500 sources since first seen on Nov 20, 2021. The combined sandbox verdict was clean.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • The sandbox mapped one process-injection technique, but no target process was recorded, so this is a generic label seen on many clean files.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

Questions & answers

Short answers to the 7 questions people ask most about this file.

Is UnityPlayer.dll safe?
We found nothing harmful in UnityPlayer.dll. None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. It has a valid digital signature from Unity Technologies ApS. Use it only as part of a program you got from the developer's own website.
What is UnityPlayer.dll?
UnityPlayer.dll is a Windows library (DLL), about 28.1 MB. It carries no version information saying what it is or who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on Nov 20, 2021.
How many antivirus engines detected UnityPlayer.dll?
None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flag UnityPlayer.dll. That is a good sign, but not proof, so we also weigh who made it, how widely it is used and what it did in a test run.
Is UnityPlayer.dll digitally signed?
Yes. UnityPlayer.dll has a valid digital signature from Unity Technologies ApS, which shows the file hasn't been changed since that publisher signed it. Malware is sometimes signed with stolen certificates, so a signature alone isn't proof of safety.
What is the SHA-256 hash of UnityPlayer.dll?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of UnityPlayer.dll is 4044d1d450c1d89a694b99d5c083095cfdfee272d3ca2e8090e26669927a9c3a, and its MD5 is 7b262a02203d43e299b1b59fcb7cbc38. Two files with the same SHA-256 are identical, so use it to check you have exactly this file, not just one with the same name.
Is it safe to use UnityPlayer.dll?
We found nothing harmful in UnityPlayer.dll, and its digital signature checks out. The main caveat is where you got it: attackers sometimes spread malware under the name of real software, so get it from the official website. If your own antivirus warns about it, check the source before you ignore the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of UnityPlayer.dll?
This report reflects the scan on Oct 25, 2026. A file's fingerprint never changes, but antivirus engines keep learning, so a rating can change later. To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
