Tower Unite is a virtual world party game and sandbox game developed by PixelTail Games. It was first released in early access on Steam in April 2016 and received a full release in April 2025. The game is set on an island in the style of a resort theme park, where players can interact, play mini-games, and join lobbies via matchmaking. In addition, players can host public or private virtual spaces known as "condos", customized with furniture and props.
The concept was initially developed in late 2006, but development was prolonged due to multiple development cycles and changing teams. It was eventually released to the public in 2009 under the name GMod Tower, as a mod for the Source engine game Garry's Mod.
In 2015, the developers founded PixelTail Games and began development of Tower Unite as a standalone game. The project received a developer grant from Epic Games and was successfully crowdfunded on Indiegogo that same year. Following the release of the game, GMod Tower was subsequently shutdown.
