Boxroom is in early access on Steam as of June 12, 2026, after a delay from its planned May 26 launch.
Nested Loop Studios and Pantaloon's Boxroom, a simulation game that reads a player's Steam library and lets them arrange game packages on virtual shelves, entered early access on June 12, 2026. The launch followed a delay from the originally promised May 26 early access window, which had left the Steam store page reading "Coming Soon" as of June 4. A 4Gamer.net play report published ahead of the intended launch detailed the game's library-scanning feature, room customization with 1990s UK-themed furniture, and the privacy settings required to sync a user's account.
In the released version, players can pick up and open game boxes, display screenshots, and discover secret figures tied to specific titles. The early access period is planned for 6 to 9 months with monthly major updates. The game turns a player's backlog into a collectible display, gamifying the act of organizing a digital library in a way that mimics physical game collection.
