The Sandbox

The Sandbox Alpha Season 5 is officially live and it's our biggest season yet. Players can enjoy 40+ games from a diverse range of major entertainment and gaming franchises, including Jurassic World, Teletubbies, Deepak Chopra, Atari, Hellboy (2019), Love Island, Care Bears, Terminator: Dark Fate, Attack on Titan, and more. In addition, up to $1 million USD in rewards will be available for players to earn by completing in-game quests as part of the free seasonal battle pass, unlocking unique digital equipment and wearables from featured brands. Alpha Season 5 will also feature ten new racing games developed by The Sandbox Internal Studios, letting players compete for first place across a variety of unique and increasingly challenging and intricate tracks. The latest season also features a series of curated community-created games and experiences leveraging the new platforming, racing, and multiplayer capabilities in Game Maker 0.11, which launched earlier this year. With the launch of the season, we also unveiled Abilities which grant behaviors to specific items players can find and equip in-game, allowing them to embark on more expressive and challenging gameplay. Both players and creators will have the ability to interact with this new system within the Game Maker or Game Client. Many experiences in Alpha Season 5 will feature at least one of the initial three new Abilities: Flight, Double Jump, and Air Dance. With five more weeks to go, Alpha Season 5 invites The Sandbox community—both new and old—to join us on another thrilling adventure.
