Garry's Mod System Requirements

Published by Valve


What we love

1. Elevator: Source is gaming's first elevator thrill ride, delivering players to airlocks and kitten dance parties.

2. The Garry's Mod community is a tremendous source of content and has added hundreds of unique modes to the game.

3. Please note: Some multiplayer servers and game-modes might require you to own other games - such as Counter-Strike: Source and Team Fortress 2.

4. In Trouble In Terrorist Town, you can be a detective solving an online murder as criminals attempt to cover up their homicides.

5. Be a ball, a plant, a chair, or anything else in Prop Hunt's elaborate, shape-shifting game of Hide & Seek.

6. 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.

7. We have one of the most vibrant Steam Community Workshops, with over 300'000 models, maps, and contraptions to download.

8. It has everything from new tools to improve your builds, to guns that fire rainbow-tinged nuclear blasts from space.

9. You can do it offline, or join the thousands of players who play online each day.

10. If you're not too great at construction - don't worry! You can place a variety of characters in silly positions.

11. We give you the tools and leave you to play.
