Key facts
What we checked
Each fact lists the source that supports it.
It is a living sandbox of our Solar System: fly it, inspect it, then start changing it - move Earth, drop a moon inside a Roche limit, or hit a world with a probe or asteroid.

Time is yours to control - pause, speed up, or bake years ahead and watch climates, orbits and surfaces respond - and it is officially a simulation first, built with heat, gravity and breakup behavior.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can you really move the planets in Absolute Sol?
Yes - you can change orbits and recreate or spawn bodies, and watch the whole system respond to what you do.
What is a Roche limit?
A boundary where a moon or small body gets too close and stretches apart into grit and debris - and you can trigger it and watch it happen.
Is Absolute Sol realistic?
It is a simulation first, with heat, gravity and breakup behavior; scenarios and physics overlays make it readable.
How much is it?
$6.99 on Steam, in Early Access.

Written from verified facts; labels mark how strong each statement's evidence is.
What the game is
Absolute Sol is a living physics sandbox of our Solar System, released October 1, 2026 in Early Access at $6.99.
You fly it, inspect it, then start changing it - move Earth, drop a moon inside a Roche limit, or hit a world with a probe or asteroid.
The developer is explicit that this is a simulation first: the point is that the system behaves like a system - heat, gravity, breakup - not just pretty pictures.
What you can do
Fly the Solar System from a wide overview down to a single world, with true physical scale one toggle away.
Edit and create: change orbits, spin, mass, air and water, or spawn new bodies and watch what they do to everything else.
Watch Earth react - oceans, ice, atmosphere, weather and surface damage - as you move, heat, freeze or hit it.
Tools and who it is for
Roche limits, impacts with scars and debris, and science overlays with plain-language tips on every number make the physics readable.
Guided scenarios include free play at today's date, Apollo 11, a true-size lineup, a Goldilocks parade and a tide-locked Earth.
It suits curious learners and space-interested players who want an accessible Solar System sandbox rather than hardcore orbital-mechanics sim (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-02).
