## PhysX 5 Now Available
|
|
|
|
The NVIDIA PhysX SDK version 5 is now available [here](https://github.com/NVIDIA-Omniverse/PhysX).
|
|
This repository will continue to be available to support legacy users. We encourage all new projects to start on the new release.

## Introduction
|
|
|
|
Welcome to the NVIDIA PhysX SDK source code repository. This depot includes the PhysX SDK and the Kapla Demo application.
