Nominate Universe Sandbox for the “Labor of Love” Award

Every year, Steam gives the “Labor of Love” award to games that have been out for a while and continue to receive new content and support year after year. If you feel we are worthy, please nominate Universe Sandbox for the "Labor of Love" award!

This year, we celebrated the 10-year anniversary of Universe Sandbox’s Early Access launch on Steam. We're proud of what we've accomplished in the last decade and are excited about the future.

Features we’re actively working on include:

  • Improving collisions with more realistic friction, craters, and simulating atmospheric drag, which allows meteors to burn up in the atmosphere. (A preview version with these features is coming soon)

  • Adding basic life simulation where life responds to the environment, spreads, dies, and can be eaten.

  • Better collisions of objects, from simple shapes like dice to complex shapes like spacecraft, according to their unique shape, using rigid-body physics.

Learn more about what we’re currently working on in our 2025 Roadmap post.

We're so grateful that we've been able to continue improving and developing Universe Sandbox for over 10 years. Thank you all for the amazing support and the opportunity to make this crazy game.

- The Universe Sandbox Team

To celebrate this milestone, Universe Sandbox is on sale now through August 31. This year, we’ve already released the first part of our multi-year physics architecture overhaul , and added winds sweeping gases across planet atmospheres, atmospheric drag to simulate meteors, a simulation of the Ar…In-game event19 Aug 2026Crashing Craters | Update 36.3Collision craters form and combine together more realistically. You can also duplicate objects, watch black holes evaporate, and explore a simulation of a newly discovered exosatellite. Creating Craters Craters from collisions with moons and small rock fragments alike are more realistic, blending naturally and better respecting an object’s elevation range and topography. Larger impacts now leav…In-game event25 Jun 2026Winds of Change | Update 36.2Watch winds spread gases across planetary atmospheres, see the unique shape of any selected object with new stylized outlines, and adjust object compositions by percentage. We’ve also focused on eliminating issues with over 50 fixes and improvements. Atmospheric Winds Gases now sweep across planetary atmospheres by the newly simulated geostrophic wind . Check it out and customize the wind speed…
