Starmade

Sandbox with your own goals

Ark: Survival Evolved

Sandbox with your own goals

Stranded on an island full of dinosaurs, you gather resources, build bases and tame prehistoric beasts to ride and fight alongside you. On multiplayer servers it becomes a harsh, time-hungry struggle of tribes, raids and alliances.

Hurtworld

Competing against other players

A punishing first-person multiplayer survival shooter where you gather, craft and fight other players and the environment to stay alive. Its survival progression stays demanding well after your basic needs are covered.

Ark: Survival Ascended

Sandbox with your own goals

You are stranded on islands full of dinosaurs, taming and riding prehistoric beasts, building bases and surviving alone or with tribes of other players. The Unreal Engine 5 remake makes the huge sandbox world look far more impressive.

Unturned

Sandbox with your own goals

A free-to-play zombie survival sandbox with blocky low-poly visuals where you scavenge, craft and build bases across large maps, teaming up with or betraying other players. A huge modding and workshop scene keeps it endlessly replayable.

Rust

Competing against other players

A brutal multiplayer survival sandbox where you spawn with nothing, gather resources, build bases and fight other players to stay alive. Raids, betrayals and clan wars make every wipe unpredictable.

Citadel: Forged With Fire

Sandbox with your own goals

You build massive castles, tame beasts and wield magic in an open fantasy sandbox, while rival players compete with you for power and influence. Its appeal lies in the freedom to choose your own path through scheming, hunting or construction.

The Front

Shooting and gunplay

An open-world survival shooter with crafting and base building, where you play a resistance fighter sent back in time to stop a tyrannical, relic-powered empire from rising. Gathering resources, building and gunfights drive the experience.

Palworld

Sandbox with your own goals

Palworld mashes creature collecting together with survival crafting and base building. Captured Pals fight beside you, carry you across the islands or toil away in your factory while you explore an open world armed with guns. Its cheeky, slightly macabre humor gives the whole thing a flavor of its own.
