A game genre emphasizing player freedom and creativity over structured objectives. Sandbox games provide tools, systems, and a world for players to interact with however they choose. Minecraft is the defining sandbox game. Others include Terraria, Valheim, and No Man's Sky. The term is also used loosely to describe open-world games with high player agency, like Grand Theft Auto V.
For new players
Sandbox games rarely tell you what to do — make your own goals and experiment with the systems.
