Our take on BOXROOM
Its defining structure is a decorated virtual room whose shelves are populated by the owner’s actual Steam game library.
What is BOXROOM?
Create a virtual room for a Steam game collection, choosing shelves, cabinets, displays, posters, figurines, and other furnishings.
After arranging the space, BOXROOM places the games from a public Steam library onto the shelves, where they can be picked up, inspected, moved, and curated. The room can also contain hidden figures, collector’s editions, and upgrades linked to certain games. Furniture and furnishings are available through the BoxCo Catalogue, while Steam Workshop functionality supports adding personal items and textures. Games can be launched from within the room, and completed spaces can be shared with friends. BOXROOM also presents itself as a collection-focused decorating experience built around recreating the feel of physical game rooms and boxed libraries.
