Splash Screen Logo Texture (2.7MB) Included in Build Even When Disabled (Unity Pro)

Unity Engine

Hi everyone,

I was analyzing my build report and noticed that the built-in Texture2D: Splash Screen Unity Logo is consistently taking up around 2.7 MB of space.

My project is on a Unity Pro plan, and I have the splash screen completely disabled in the Player Settings.

Why is this asset still being included in the final build? It seems like an unnecessary use of space, especially for size-sensitive platforms like mobile.

Is this a required engine fallback resource that can’t be stripped, or is there a way to exclude it that I’m not aware of?

Thanks for any insights

You need to first uncheck “show logo” and then uncheck “show splashscreen”. If the “show logo” is grayed out but still checked, the logo is still being included because you could actually show it via script.

It’s not 2.7 MB. Heed the build reports first line: asset sizes reported are uncompressed. The build size doesn’t increase by 2.7 MB, more like 1/20th of that.
