Almost two decades after the release of Garry’s Mod, its highly anticipated spiritual successor, s&box, finally has a launch date. This new title is set to arrive on Steam on April 28th and will be priced at $20, as confirmed by Facepunch Studios.
s&box is presented as a “love letter to Source 2,” leveraging Valve’s engine to offer new tools and functionalities, aiming to replicate its predecessor’s success in community-generated content creation.
One of s&box’s most notable features is its dual model for the distribution and monetization of user creations. Developers will be able to integrate their experiences directly into the s&box platform, where Facepunch Studios will distribute a portion of the revenue among creators based on playtime. Additionally, there are plans to offer the option to publish these creations directly on Steam. While this option will not be available at launch, it has been confirmed that advanced discussions with Valve are already underway. While Valve was the publisher for Garry’s Mod, Facepunch Studios is now taking on the publishing role for s&box.
