What you need to know
- Garry's Mod, also known as GMod, is a 2006 physics-driven sandbox game from Facepunch Studios that's built on Valve's Source engine. The game still has a passionate community today, and gets constant improvements thanks to fan-made addons.
- A GMod player named Alexandrovich has created a map in the game that's so incomprehensibly large that it's 2,048 times the size of our known universe.
- To load into it, you'll need to play the 64-bit version of GMod, and will also need 12GB of RAM as well as 522MB of spare storage.
- Right now, the map is blank and contains visuals of multicolored stars and galaxy clusters, but Alexandrovich says solar systems will be added in an upcoming update.
