We gamers love to be let loose in wide open virtual spaces with nothing but a few tools of destruction and our imaginations, and there’s nothing quite like a good sandbox game to satisfy that itch. While the genre isn’t as popular as action adventure games, sandbox games have continued to thrive at a constant pace in recent years. And this trend doesn’t seem to be dying out anytime soon.To that effect, we present 15 upcoming sandbox games for 2023 and beyond that you should definitely check out.

It’s been almost an entire decade since Grand Theft Auto 5 released on the PS3 and Xbox 360, and fans still have little to no information available on the next game in the series. While we have official confirmation that GTA 6 is in active development and we have seen a very early version of the game in action thanks to recent leaks, we don’t really know much about its story, new gameplay features, map size, and the like. However, it’s fair to expect that GTA 6 will feature a fully realized sandbox like every other entry in the franchise – so you will be able to carve out all sorts of fun with vehicles, NPC AI, and hopefully a Director mode as well. But since GTA 6 isn’t releasing anytime soon, it’s best to keep expectations in check for now.
