Garry’s Mod Successor s&box Sets April 28 Steam Launch

A new Valve license lets creators ship s&box-made games as standalone Steam titles without paying Facepunch.

Overview

  • A quiet Steam page update listed April 28 as the release date for s&box, a Source 2–based game‑creation platform from Facepunch.
  • Facepunch said it signed a license with Valve that allows users to export projects from the s&box editor into separate games on Steam.
  • The studio said it still needs to finalize creator agreements and run legal and technical checks before exported games can ship.
  • The Steam page shows no price, and founder Garry Newman told PC Gamer to expect roughly $10 to $20.
  • The arrangement could lead to more Source 2 games on Steam and gives small teams a simpler path to publish their work.
