What is s&box?
S&box is a platform and game development toolkit developed by Facepunch studio powered by Source 2. Initially, the development was based on Unreal Engine 4, but as soon as Half-Life: Alyx came out, Facepunch immediately requested the engine branch of the newly-published game. A few weeks later Valve gave Facepunch access to the terabyte large repository, after which, in 2020, S&box's transition to Source 2 was announced. This is the first (and currently only) time that Source 2 has been licensed to third-party developers.
