The best simulation games in 2025 can cover so much ground when it comes to simulating real (and unrealistic) events. But no matter what you want to try out, there should be something for you.

The project, called OpenUniverse, relied on the now-retired Theta supercomputer at the DOE’s (Department of Energy’s) Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois. The supercomputer accomplished a process ...

Some simulation games strive for extreme accuracy, like Football Manager 2024's realistic player stats. SnowRunner challenges players with offroad terrain decisions, impacting the driving experience.

Computer scientists at the University of California San Diego have developed a method for generating highly realistic computer-generated images of fluid dynamics in elements such as smoke.
