Save data attackers can't edit.
Unity stores PlayerPrefs as plain text - in the Windows registry, in macOS plists, in Android XML files. ProtectedPlayerPrefs ships the same API, but every value is encrypted on disk and unreadable to save-file editors.
PlayerPrefs is plain text everywhere Unity ships.
Unity's PlayerPrefs stores everything as clear text. Living in the registry or as a plain file, a player edits gold, lives or unlocked levels within seconds.
Windows PlayerPrefs sit unencrypted in the registry.
Android PlayerPrefs are stored in a plain XML file.
Save-file editors on YouTube walk first-time cheaters through it in under a minute.
Same API, every value encrypted on disk.
Same API as UnityEngine.PlayerPrefs, but every value is encrypted on disk. Edited save files simply fail to decrypt - no extra code path required.
- Drop-in API parity with UnityEngine.PlayerPrefs
- Per-key encryption + tamper detection on disk
- Old plaintext prefs can be migrated transparently
Works everywhere your Unity game ships.
Unity 2021.3 and up, both scripting backends and every supported platform.
Protected PlayerPrefs,
the way Unity teams expect.
One search-and-replace and you're done
ProtectedPlayerPrefs mirrors UnityEngine.PlayerPrefs exactly, so migrating an entire game is a one-line refactor with zero risk to your existing save format.
Save-file editors become a YouTube relic
Keys and values are encrypted before they hit disk, so the registry-edit and XML-edit tutorials on YouTube simply stop working against your game.
Cloud-sync ready out of the box
ProtectedFileBasedPlayerPrefs writes a single encrypted blob anywhere you want - perfect for cloud saves, per-profile data and any backend that expects a file you control.
Nothing to wire, nothing to babysit
No prefab, no monitor, no detector. The protection is built into the API, so you can ship hardened save data without touching your scene hierarchy.
Free for every project
Both ProtectedPlayerPrefs and ProtectedFileBasedPlayerPrefs ship in the Free asset - there is no reason your save data should still be plain text tomorrow.
