{{s&box|4}} is a platform and game development toolkit developed by [https://facepunch.com/ Facepunch] studio powered by {{source2|3}}. Initially, the development was based on Unreal Engine 4, but as soon as {{hla|3}} 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 {{source2|3}} was announced. This is the first (and currently only) time that Source 2 has been licensed to third-party developers.

There are many similarities between the use of C# in S&box and the use of the more primitive [https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/ Lua] language in {{Game name|GMOD|name=Garry's Mod}}. Many concepts of Gmod's Lua environment have been carried over, including limited access the language's features and "hot reloading" of edited code.
