Modbox (v2.32)

A virtual workbench built for strange multiplayer ideas, Modbox lets players construct and share their own games instead of following a fixed campaign. Its focus is collaborative creation: one session might become a physics-heavy arena brawler, while the next turns into a co-op survival challenge, vehicle experiment, or improvised obstacle course. The tone is playful and technical at once, rewarding groups that enjoy breaking toys apart as much as they enjoy building them. VR remains central to its identity, but the 2.0 version also brings desktop players into the same creations.

Creation happens through in-world tools and a custom visual scripting system designed to make interactive multiplayer logic more approachable than conventional coding. Players assemble objects, define behaviors, connect triggers and variables, add AI-driven enemies, and tune physics interactions before inviting others to test the result immediately. Destruction, movable props, and physical experimentation give prototypes a tangible feel, especially in virtual reality, where grabbing, stacking, firing, and smashing creations becomes part of the design process. There is no traditional character progression to chase; the lasting loop comes from learning the tools, refining a project, and trying the enormous range of community-built activities.

The ability to mix VR and non-VR users across online, local, and split-screen multiplayer is Modbox’s strongest differentiator. Rather than treating VR as an isolated novelty, it supports setups where headset users and desktop players can occupy the same chaotic game space, each using the format that suits them. Its visual scripting is powerful enough for creators willing to experiment, although newcomers should expect a learning curve and enjoy self-directed tinkering rather than polished, curated missions. Fans of Garry’s Mod, Rec Room’s creative side, or Dreams-style user-made experiences should find plenty to like, particularly if they have friends eager to prototype and play together.
