About Universe Sandbox

About this game

NOTE: This game can only be used with the Oculus Quest/Quest 2 when the headset is connected to a VR compatible Windows PC via an Oculus Link compatible cable

Universe Sandbox is a VR videogame published by Giant Army that allows you to explore and manipulate the universe in stunning detail. 

Create Or Destroy

With its realistic physics engine, you can create and destroy planets, stars, and whole galaxies, making it the perfect game for anyone interested in astronomy or cosmology. In addition to its sandbox mode, Universe Sandbox also features a campaign mode with over 50 levels to play through, each one teaching you more about the physics of the universe.

With Universe Sandbox, you can terraform planets, create black holes, and even simulate entire galaxies! The possibilities are endless. With gorgeous visuals and an immersive soundtrack, Universe Sandbox is an essential purchase for anyone with a VR headset.
