Brings what grabs you about Fortnite: building and crafting, a sandbox with your own goals as well as lots of grind.

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.

Ark: Survival Evolved

Lots of grind

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.

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.

Unturned

Competing against other players

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.

Hurtworld

Lots of grind

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.

7 Days to Die

Open world

A zombie survival sandbox built on crafting, looting, base building and skill progression, where every seventh night a massive horde tests your fortifications. Played solo or in co-op, it blends first-person shooting with tower-defense tension.

Ark: Survival of the Fittest

Competing against other players

A battle-royale-style spin-off of Ark where up to 72 players fight for survival on an island full of dinosaurs. Solo or in tribes, you quickly gather gear, tame creatures, and outlast environmental threats and rivals.

Sea of Thieves

Competing against other players

A shared-world pirate sandbox where your crew sails a ship together, hunts treasure and runs into other player crews who might become allies or attackers. The thrill comes from teamwork and unscripted encounters at sea rather than grinding for stronger gear.

Ark: Survival Ascended

Lots of grind

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.
