Sandbox games hand you tools and leave the goals to you. On Xbox, the list ranges from factory building and spaceship engineering to survival crafting and relaxed block building, so the first question is what kind of freedom you want: designing machines, surviving a hostile world, or simply making things at your own pace.
Check a few things before you pick. Survival sandboxes like 7 Days to Die, Conan Exiles and Ark: Survival Evolved add pressure through danger and resource management, and they are tagged for co-op or multiplayer, which suits playing with friends. If you prefer calm, LEGO Worlds is tagged cozy and relaxing, with a colorful look and co-op support. Engineering-minded players should look at Space Engineers, Satisfactory and Besiege, which lean on strategy and puzzle-solving. Besiege is also tagged comedy, so expect some silly results from your contraptions.
For 2D exploration, Terraria and Starbound both use pixel art and mix building with exploration. Kerbal Space Program is the pick if you like experimenting with rockets and space travel. Project Spark is on the list too, but it is a different case from the rest, as it is tagged multiplayer and open world with a stylish, comedic tone. Starting with one game that matches your preferred pace will serve you better than trying several at once.
Frequently asked questions
