About Beyond Sandbox
Beyond Sandbox is a multiplayer VR platform built on Unreal Engine 5 that emphasizes advanced physics interactions. Both single‑player and multiplayer sessions let players manipulate objects with realistic forces, collisions and material responses using tracked VR controllers.
The platform launches with starter experiences—Sandbox, PvP Shooter Modes, and Zombie Horde Mode—and offers a Reality SDK for community modders. Features include online co‑op, PvP, cross‑platform multiplayer, tracked controller support and an integrated level editor, fostering endless user‑generated content.
01 / THE GUIDE
advanced-physics-interactions
The engine delivers advanced physics‑based interactions that affect every object in the world, whether in a solo sandbox build or a shared multiplayer match. Forces, impacts and material properties behave consistently, allowing players to experiment with realistic motion and reactions.
These physics rules apply across all starter experiences, so creations in the sandbox, combat in PvP shooter modes, and waves in the zombie horde all respond to player actions with the same underlying system.
- Test objects of different mass to see how the physics engine scales forces.
- Observe any latency differences when physics are processed in solo versus multiplayer sessions.
02 / THE GUIDE
multiplayer-modes
Beyond Sandbox supports online PvP and co‑op play, letting friends join the same VR space for competitive or collaborative experiences. The starter PvP shooter and zombie horde modes are designed for these shared sessions.
Cross‑platform multiplayer enables Windows users on different machines to connect, expanding the pool of participants and allowing mixed‑hardware groups to play together.
- Coordinate with teammates in co‑op to manage zombie hordes efficiently.
- Switch between PvP and co‑op to compare how gameplay dynamics change.
03 / THE GUIDE
reality-sdk-modding
From day 1, Beyond Sandbox was built with modding in mind, providing a Reality SDK that lets creators design new content. The SDK powers the starter experiences and serves as the foundation for community‑made additions.
Modders can add physics puzzles, new game modes or visual assets, and these creations give players endless content to explore, extending the platform over time.
- Browse community‑created mods to see the range of possibilities the SDK supports.
- Refer to the SDK documentation when starting your own project to avoid common pitfalls.
04 / THE GUIDE
vr-only-tracked-controller-support
The game is VR‑only and includes tracked controller support, allowing precise hand‑based interactions such as grabbing, throwing and manipulating objects directly in the virtual world.
All gameplay mechanics are built around these immersive gestures, meaning traditional keyboard or mouse inputs are not part of the core experience.
- Calibrate your controllers before long sessions to reduce tracking drift.
- Experiment with different grip gestures to find the most comfortable interaction style.
05 / THE GUIDE
cross-platform-multiplayer
Beyond Sandbox runs on Windows and supports cross‑platform multiplayer, allowing players on different Windows PCs to join the same VR lobby. This broadens the community and enables friends with varying hardware to play together.
While macOS and Linux are not listed, any Windows user can connect with any other Windows user, ensuring a unified multiplayer environment.
- Verify network settings if you encounter connection issues between different Windows setups.
- Start with a small group on the same OS to confirm stability before mixing platforms.
