Yes, s&box has extensive modding support built right into the platform. You can create games using modern C# 14 with .NET 10, and players can access hundreds of community-made games including shooters, platformers, puzzlers, and racers. The platform allows developers to export creations as standalone games without licensing fees.
Server requirements vary by gamemode. Most s&box gamemodes run well on our standard hosting packages with NVMe SSD storage and high single-thread performance CPUs. Since s&box is powered by Source 2 engine, it benefits from optimized performance with minimal GC stutters and smooth operation across different configurations.
Yes, you can host dedicated servers for gamemodes that are not public on sbox.game. This allows you to host your gamemode privately while stopping it from showing up in the public games list. You have full control over who can access your server.
s&box is currently in open developer preview and updates frequently, sometimes multiple times per day. Our hosting platform keeps your server files current with the latest updates. You can restart your server anytime to apply the newest version through our control panel.
