We're spoiled for choice when it comes to the best sandbox games that you can play with friends. But while it's easy to fall back on big names like Minecraft, Terraria, and Stardew Valley, I'd recommend gathering your group for a few sessions of Core Keeper. Launched out of early access in 2024 to a 94%-positive Steam reception, it's a very worthy addition to the collection, and it's about to get even bigger. Developer Pugstorm has just unveiled its next update, Void and Voltage, which adds a new biome, dungeon, and boss to discover, and it'll be arriving for free in January.
