S&BOX just launched on Steam. If you're new here, welcome! This is our beloved project, S&BOX RIVALS. A competitive arena shooter built off the backbone of s&box's amazing, Zombie Extinguisher on the S&BOX platform, designed to give you something worth playing from the moment you install.

S&BOX is Facepunch's spiritual successor to Garry's Mod, rebuilt on Source 2. It's a game creation platform where everything you play is made by the community. It just hit Steam after years of development. You can grab it here.

Rivals is a fast-paced arena shooter with 1v1 matchmaking, a full progression system, and combat that rewards skill. The loop is simple: queue up, get matched, fight in a dedicated arena, earn XP and rank up.

Matchmaking and Arenas
Jump into queue and get matched automatically. Every match runs in its own isolated arena.

Real Weapon Feel
Custom weapon framework with real recoil, reload animations, and attachments. Combat has weight to it.

XP and Progression
Every match earns XP. Level up, track your stats, and unlock cosmetics over time.

Practice vs Bots
Not ready for live opponents? Train against bots with adjustable difficulty to warm up and learn the maps.

Capture the Flag
Team-based, objective-driven, and chaotic in the best way.

No configuration, just get in and start playing.

RIVALS has been a passion project through every API change and engine update S&BOX has shipped. With S&BOX now on Steam and new players arriving every day, we're ready for you.

Welcome to S&BOX. Welcome to RIVALS. See you in the arena. ❤️
