About
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.
N-body simulation at almost any speed using Newtonian mechanics. Real science, real physics, no supercomputer required.
Epic, mind blowing collisions of massive planetary bodies that leave behind molten craters.
Start with a star, then add a planet. Spruce it up with moons, rings, comets, or even a black hole.
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.

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

Hitch a ride with spacecraft including Juno and New Horizons, or view a total solar eclipse.
Build and terraform planets with 12 materials, including water, oxygen, & carbon dioxide
Stellar flares & volatile trails
Procedurally generated planets, stars, & galaxies
Pulsars
Light-warping black holes
Epic space lasers
Shape oceans & mountains on planet surfaces
Spin planets apart with centrifugal force
Original soundtrack by Macoubre
Support for 20+ languages

This game is Awesome! I love it.
Woah
good game wasted like idk forgot but it was a good deal
it is fun to similate a simulation of the solar system and to create new solar systems
This game has 2 kinds of players: Those who spend thousands of hours completely infatuated with the universe and thier godlike power within it. And those who get bored within 30 minutes after they sucked everything into a blackhole for the 10th consecutive time. I was the the latter.
I would recommend this game to people if you are into space. They did a really good job with the graphics *If your computer can handle it.* It is like Solar Smash but on steroids.
Wonderful, nostalgic, and surprisingly accurate. Universe Sandbox is a fun game, but I seriously got to stop turning the Earth into a supermassive blackhole.

The legacy version of this game is one of the first games I ever bought on steam, This is such a good upgrade and definitely worth it. If you love space this is an easy buy
well maintained but i think it was overhyped by those videos when the game was newly launched. its really expensive but it does everything you’d think it’d do. also i wouldnt really call this a game, its more of a simulator it was a mistake to buy this as i didnt play it that much but could be fun/useful for other people so im gonna let this review be positive
