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.

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.

And more...

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

it actually is very important to know the Schwarzschild Radius of a baseball

funny and really realistic game for universe lovers!

Best Space/sandbox game next to space flight sim, would recommend

Recommended· 1 Jul 2026

Wonderful, nostalgic, and surprisingly accurate. Universe Sandbox is a fun game, but I seriously got to stop turning the Earth into a supermassive blackhole.

Recommended· 25 Jul 2026

it was laggy at first but after setting a lot of setting to low it ran so well i think this is my new space game :)

I would like it but it keeps crashing every time I try to go play universe sandbox
