About the Game
Garry's Mod is a physics sandbox. There aren't any predefined aims or goals. We give you the tools and leave you to play.
You spawn objects and weld them together to create your own contraptions - whether that's a car, a rocket, a catapult or something that doesn't have a name yet - that's up to you. You can do it offline, or join the thousands of players who play online each day.
If you're not too great at construction - don't worry! You can place a variety of characters in silly positions. But if you want to do more, we have the means.
Beyond the Sandbox
The Garry's Mod community is a tremendous source of content and has added hundreds of unique modes to the game. In Trouble In Terrorist Town, you can be a detective solving an online murder as criminals attempt to cover up their homicides. Be a ball, a plant, a chair, or anything else in Prop Hunt's elaborate, shape-shifting game of Hide & Seek. Elevator: Source is gaming's first elevator thrill ride, delivering players to airlocks and kitten dance parties.
We have one of the most vibrant Steam Community Workshops, with over 300'000 models, maps, and contraptions to download. It has everything from new tools to improve your builds, to guns that fire rainbow-tinged nuclear blasts from space. Take as much or as little as you need: it’s all free.
Please note: Some multiplayer servers and game-modes might require you to own other games - such as Counter-Strike: Source and Team Fortress 2.

September 2026 Update
Artwork showcase: "Just one more thing!"The September 2026 Update is now live.64-bit binaries on WindowsThis update brings 64-bit binaries for the Windows game client, dedicated servers and most developer tools, such as Hammer, to every version of the game.This means that there's now less risk of running out of the 32-bit memory address space and subsequently crashing when playing on heavy servers or with a lot of addons installed.The 64-bit game client can be selected from Steam launch options.Content UpdatesNew NPC variation was added to the spawnmenu - Hacked Manhacks. In addition to that, the Dropship NPC can now take damage and is no longer invulnerable when spawned in Sandbox.Spawnmenu got a few tweaks - content tabs can now have sub categories, which should help find what you are looking for faster. Naturally this system is open for addons to take advantage of.The player model...

New mountable gamesWith community effort and permission from the respective game developers, 2 new games are now available to be mounted in Garry's Mod: Black Mesa and Military Conflict: Vietnam!As with other mountable games, you will need to own them on Steam first, which will enable players to use maps and models from these games in Sandbox and other gamemodes.HUD ImprovementsSome default HUD elements received some polish - the weapon selector, damage indicators, health and ammo displays.The ammo HUD now correctly displays ammo for certain modded weapon types that use secondary clips, the default weapon selector can now display more slots and scroll weapon selection when there are too many weapons equipped to fit on the screen. The HUD now also scales better at 4K resolution, preventing certain elements such as Sandbox notifications and voice chat from overlapping the ammo HUD.New c...

Read full update on Steam ↗November 2025 Update
The November 2025 Update is now live.New water visualsThis update adds new water rendering features from newer Source Engine games to Garry's Mod. Here's a comparison:This includes flow maps, lightmaps and ability to reflect 3D skybox. This both improves compatibility with mountable games, as well as enables map makers to use these new features in their maps.It must be noted that these changes may unexpectedly affect a small amount of existing maps. The issue here is that some map makers are using (modified) water materials from other Source Engine games which have parameters that did not previously work, but do work correctly now, causing unexpected changes in water appearance. This is unfortunately unavoidable from our end, and will need to be individually fixed by map makers by editing their water materials. No map recompilation needed.4-way blendsAnother port from newer Source Eng...

Read full update on Steam ↗July 2025 Update
Artwork Showcase - "The Construction"The July 2025 Update is now live.Update HighlightsThe biggest user-facing change in this update brings most of Counter-Strike: Source and Half-Life 2 Episodic content to Garry's Mod by default, with gracious permission from Valve. This means that you no longer need to own those games and have them installed to play on community maps that expect you to have this content. Please do note that maps from those games are not included, so you'll still need to install those games to use their maps, and neither are voice over files and music, due to licensing issues.This won't eliminate all instances of missing content (missing textures and ERROR models), but it will address a majority of instances of this issue. The remainder would just be addon authoring or installation errors.This also means that Half-Life 2: Episode 2 content is now available in the spa...

Update Highlights The Faceposer tool got some upgrades with this update, the model flexes can now be grouped into convenient, collapsible groups, making it easier to find what you are looking for at a glance. These groups are loaded from the models themselves, so the support for this feature is up to model makers. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/742793/bdd64f7fb2594f4090797c99a81eadc33230733f.jpg This update also comes with reworked default spawnlists, finally exposing every single model that comes with the base game, as well as pre-generated spawnicons for every single one. Please note that these new spawnlists may not appear for you until you delete existing spawnlists (garrysmod/settings/spawnlists/ folder) if you played Sandbox prior to this update. Be aware that this folder also includes your custom and modified spawnlists. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/742793/61717b4ecc168bb1404fb2e59700216dec1a4507.jp...

New Crosshairs This update brings a new default crosshair for the base game, as well as ability to customize your crosshair. This is usually fulfilled by using addons, but the default crosshair had a long standing issue of being impossible to see on bright backgrounds, so a new one was well overdue. You can now customize the crosshair in the Options menu: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/742793/ffd9b3aab826a22ede1e520fb4d0d58784e6de29.png (You can reset the slider values by middle mouse clicking on them!

DSP effects (echo, etc) now also properly reset on map change, so playing on a map with echo should no longer carry the echo onto other maps. The update is optional for server owners, however it is always a good idea to keep your server updated to receive all the latest fixes and features....

Read full update on Steam ↗May 2020 Patch
Hey everyone, We are releasing a small patch today. The entire change log is as follows: Servers without a Game Server Login Token now get ranking penalty and do not count towards gamemode player counts Right or mouse wheel clicking a server will now copy its IP address and other info Fixed more issues with util.Base64Decode Fixed a script error with the constraint library when spawning duplications Improved error handling for built-in Duplicator when pasting constraints and they produce errors, so the duplication doesn't just stop and become un-undo-able The update is optional for servers but they are recommended to update, especially if they were affected by one or more issues mentioned above. Please make sure your server is running a Game Server Login Token (GSLT), you can find out more information on our wiki: https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/Steam_Game_Server_Accounts

You can now mount them into your game directly from the main menu, provided you own them on Steam and have them installed. This update also addresses a long standing issue of voice chat quality. With the changes in this update hopefully voice chat in Garry's Mod will sound much better than it used to. The new changes may cause the voice chat to be quieter than it used to be, but this is something that people will need to adjust in either the updated Voice options tab or in their PC microphone settings. It is necessary to be this way to improve audio quality. As usual this update also brings a whole host of new features and improvements for modders an...

Resizing the spawnmenu now saves the changes after you exit the game, so you do not have to resize it every time you join a Sandbox server or start a singleplayer Sandbox game. There are also numerous improvements to spawnlist customization, including more intuitive drag'n'drop controls that mimic drag'n'drop controls of your Operating System and inability to delete NPCs, Weapons, Vehicles, Entities and Post Processing effects from their own tabs so players no longer have to rejoin server/restart their singleplayer game if they accidentally deleted something in their spawnmenu.
