Run Steam to download Update 20.4, or buy Universe Sandbox ² via our website or the Steam Store.

Update 20.4 features five new simulations:

  • Check out our Solar System in its current state in real time
  • Cram all of the planets between the Earth and Moon (see clip above)
  • See the asteroid Apophis’s close call with our planet in 2029
  • Spend some time with Earth’s companion, 2016 HO3
  • Explore the scale of the planets in our Solar System

This update also features tons of new descriptions so you can learn more about the astronomy, physics, and history of the simulations. There is also a new texture for the minor planet Vesta.

Check out the full list of What’s New in Update 20.4.

We are still hard at work on our next big release, Update 21. Stay tuned after the New Year for more information.

Happy Holidays!
