Sandbox (stylized as S&box) is an upcoming sandbox game being developed by Facepunch Studios as a spiritual successor to their debut title, Garry's Mod. Though Sandbox was announced in September 2017 as an Unreal Engine 4 project, the developers intended to code it in an "engine agnostic" way so that they could easily switch to Source 2 if the latter engine became available for them to use.[1][2] After three years of intermittent development, Sandbox was transferred to the Source 2 engine in October 2020.[3]

Notes

  1. When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/590830/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (590830) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
