About s&box

s&box poster

s&box is a game creation platform built on the Source 2 engine, positioned as the spiritual successor to Garry's Mod. It brings together playing, creating and sharing games in one place, letting you explore community creations and enjoy endless sandbox fun with a suite of powerful, modern tools. For PC players who loved the freedom of its predecessor, it offers a fresh foundation to build on.

The platform is packed with games made by the community, spanning every genre, and you can party up and play with friends across whatever catches your interest. Creating games is open to anyone thanks to an intuitive, modern editor that lets you build scenes using a standard scene system alongside a C# API with powerful hotloading, making experimentation quick and flexible.

Sharing your work is just as straightforward. Through the Play Fund, you can publish games directly to the platform where anyone can play them at the click of a button, and you can earn money from players enjoying your creations, funded through cosmetic purchases. If you would rather branch out, you can also publish your games to Steam royalty-free, though that option is still being finalized. Blending action, adventure, racing, simulation, sports, strategy and casual creation, s&box gives PC players a versatile space to make and play whatever they can imagine.
