Sandbox with your own goals

A vehicle sandbox whose soft-body physics make crashes and deformation feel strikingly real. You roam open maps, push cars to destruction and build your own scenarios.

Derail Valley

Deep systems to master

A train simulator where you hand-drive locomotives, couple and uncouple cars, and take freight jobs across an open rail network. Convincing physics and free movement around the trains are the draw, including in VR.

Steep

Sandbox with your own goals

Steep lets you freely ski, snowboard, paraglide and wingsuit across huge open mountain ranges in the Alps and Alaska. The appeal lies in finding your own lines, chasing high scores and messing around with other players.

A realistic ship simulator where you pilot vessels from lifeboats to cruise ships. Sail freely through large environments with dynamic weather, or take on campaign missions such as commanding a Greenpeace ship.

Take on Helicopters

Deep systems to master
