A small patch featuring only a few changes, Minecraft update 1.35/Content Update 32 is now live on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with 4J Studios saying it will be out for other platforms “over the next few days.”
Update: 1.35 is now live on PS3 and PS Vita. The patch notes are the same as PS4 (below), and the PS3 version also includes a “fix for Birthday skin packs and Minecon pack not showing in the skin select for players with the Blu-ray version.”
As the patch notes detail, vote-to-kick has been removed in Mini Games, there’s a crash fix for those who quit after winning a match, and more:
- Remove vote-to-kick function in Mini Games. The host can kick players only in the Lobby.
- Disable small, floating and oddly shaped skins in public Tumble games.
- Fix for Battle mini game showdown playing Tumble mini game showdown sound.
- Fixed a bug where last player to die in Tumble would get stuck respawning.
- Fix for being able to unlock Hunger Pain achievement by killing yourself while starving.
- Fix for crash if a client wins the match and then quits the game.
The previous update, version 1.33 at the end of August, added the Tumble Mini Game, new Trophies for the Battle Mini Game, and support for new Battle DLC.

7 Days to Die
The Fun Pimps' 7 Days to Die is coming to PlayStation 4 courtesy of Telltale Games. It's basically a realistic Minecraft, as players will have to craft items and build defenses in order to survive in this post-apocalyptic game. The focus is definitely more on survival rather than building, though, so if you just want to create cool buildings then this might not be the right game for you.

Dragon Quest Builders
Dragon Quest Builders is coming to North America later this year, but Japanese players have already had the chance to check out this Dragon Quest spin on Minecraft. It's a pretty straightforward adaptation, as you'll be collecting items like rock, wood, and slime ooze to craft new objects. There's also familiar enemies to deal with.
-
DayZ
Set to release later this year, DayZ is a survival game based off the ARMA 2 mod of the same name. There's a zombie filled world to roam, and you'll have to determine if other players are friend or foe. While the focus is definitely on survival here, you can also build bases in order to protect your items.
-
Terraria
Available on PS3, Vita and PS4, Terraria is essentially a 2D version of Minecraft. That description does do it a bit of a disservice (as it adds some cool stuff such as boss fights), but the core gameplay will be familiar to any fan of Mojang's title. There's a lot of depth here, and I'd argue that it's a more focused (and better) game than what inspired it.
-
Don't Starve
Don't Starve features one of the best crafting systems in any survival game. You'll start off by creating simple objects like a pickaxe, but later on you can create stuff like a staff that shoots fire. It's available on both PlayStation Vita and PS4, and its multiplayer sequel Don't Starve Together is releasing later this year on consoles.

The Forest
Endnight Games' The Forest is a first-person survival game where players crash onto a mysterious island. Oh, and the island is filled with cannibals who took your son. So, yeah. The situation is pretty dire here, and this realistic-looking survival game has received rave reviews on PC. According to the developer, it's set to arrive on PS4 "sometime in 2016."

Fallout 4
Alright, so the main game of Fallout 4 isn't really like Minecraft at all. You can make some awesome settlements, though. Just look at the screenshot, which was made by Redditor RuxConk. It's a fun game in general, and the settlement building has a lot of depth if you want to dive into it.
-
Starbound
Starbound is very similar to Terraria, but it also has the distinction of being in space. Players are able to use a space shuttle to explore the rest of the galaxy and this futuristic take on the genre is something special. It's already out on PC, and is in development for PS4.
-
Ark: Survival Evolved
One way Minecraft could be made better is if it had dinosaurs, mainly because everything is better with dinos. Fear not, as Ark: Survival Evolved has plenty of the feathered reptiles (over 60 if you're counting) that want to stomp you out of existence. Thankfully, players can tame wild dinosaurs to use themselves and build bases in order to conquer the game world.

The Tomorrow Children
Q-Games' The Tomorrow Children is one of the most anticipated PlayStation 4 exclusives, and it should be releasing relatively soon. It's a mixture between Minecraft style building, gorgeous graphics that look straight out of an animated film, and a Soviet Union theme. Players won't have to wait too much longer to check out the latest idea to come from Dylan Cuthbert.
