Upload Labs

Upload Labs is a systems-building game about trying to save the universe from heat death. You connect nodes representing computer components and processes, directing resource flows and data pipelines to build optimized systems.

Build your systems

Nodes are window-like interfaces that you connect from output to input. You use them to control how resources and data move through your setup.

Research, hack and code

You scan files to unlock technologies through a research tree, which includes nodes, systems and scientific milestones. You can hack organizations to gain intel, disrupt their systems and secure resources. Committing code earns contributors, while custom code optimizations, applications and drivers let you tune and automate your system.

Develop an AI

You feed downloaded files to an AI so it can process and learn from them. As it develops, it generates improved files that boost your income. You guide its progress toward Artificial General Intelligence, a step toward addressing the universe’s crisis.
