Buy Now$29.99 USD or more

Universe Sandbox is a realistic physics-based space simulator that allows you to create, destroy, and interact on an unimaginable scale.

It merges real-time gravity, climate, collision, and material interactions to reveal the beauty of our universe and the fragility of our planet.

Universe Sandbox includes the desktop version and a VR mode with support for the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift+Touch, and Windows Mixed Reality*

Your purchase comes with a Steam key.


Simulate Gravity

N-body simulation at almost any speed using Newtonian mechanics. Real science, real physics, no supercomputer required. 


Collide Planets & Stars

Epic, mind-blowing collisions of massive planetary bodies that leave behind molten craters.


Create Your Own Systems

Start with a star, then add a planet. Spruce it up with moons, rings, comets, or even a black hole.


Model Planetary Climate

Watch sea ice grow and recede with the seasons because of a planet’s tilt - change the tilt and change the seasons. Or move planets close to a star and see the oceans boil away as the surface heats up.



Supernova a Star

Watch a supernova unfold by colliding two stars, cranking up their mass, or making them explode at your whim.



Explore Historical Events

Hitch a ride with spacecraft including Juno and New Horizons, or view a total solar eclipse.



Throw Planets in VR

Just grab and fling.*

I bought this game and I enjoyed it so far, but there were many crashes and I discovered I could update the game. Unfortunately it took me to a page that said, "Error 404: page not found". I was unable to update the game.
