BBC Studios and Reality+ bring Top Gear into The Sandbox with ‘The Stigverse’

BBC Studios have teamed up with games studio Reality+ to launch The Stigverse – a new Top Gear themed experience – within social gaming platform The Sandbox.

With malfunctioning versions of The Digital Stig – known as Gits – running riot across The Stigverse, players must take charge, restore calm, and round up the escaped Gits across seven zones.

Each zone is inspired by themes from Top Gear’s engineering challenges: The Stage, All-Terrain, Mountain, Lake, Aerial and The Scrapyard, along with The Clone Lab.

“We’re thrilled to bring Top Gear into The Sandbox, as it offers us a fantastic opportunity to reimagine the world of Top Gear for a new digital audience,” said Stephen Davies, SVP Global Licensing at BBC Studios.

“We can’t wait to see players dive into the chaos and challenges of The Stigverse.”

Tony Pearce, CEO at Reality+, added: “This experience is a love letter to the world of Top Gear, offering a unique blend of engaging gameplay, captivating challenges, and unforgettable moments that will delight both longtime fans and newcomers alike.”

Sébastien Borget, Co-Founder & COO of The Sandbox, continued: “We’re proud to welcome Top Gear in The Sandbox open metaverse. By reimagining iconic moments and engineering challenges from the show, players will be able to engage with Top Gear in new and interactive ways.

“This collaboration further highlights The Sandbox as a destination for creative entertainment and fans engagement, combining the power of gaming and culture.”
