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.
Universe Sandbox includes the desktop version and a VR mode with support for the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift+Touch, and Windows Mixed Reality.
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.
Throw Planets in VR
Just grab and fling.
And more...
Build and terraform planets with 12 materials, including water, oxygen, & carbon dioxide

Celebrate the Spring by Draining Yuplay’s Profit
Spring time always comes with a sense of freshness and revitalization, so we decided to take a risk make a special storewide promotion that would absolutely kill our profit (and probably get our boss angry). All you have to do to participate is make an order of at least 20€ between 17.03.2026 15:00 CET and 23.03.2026 15:00 CET, and you will get a FREE game coming straight out of our pockets…
Even though Friday the 13th is widely considered as an unlucky date, we at YUPLAY are trying to flip the script for that and turn it into a lucky day for you and this time is not an exception to the rule! We are delighted to announce our FRIDAY 13TH promo and you should absolutely read on the article in order to find out how to best take advantage of this campaign and turn your luck in the right direction for the occasion…
