No Man's Sky is an action-adventure survival game developed and published by the indie studio Hello Games. It was released worldwide for the PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Windows in August 2016, and for Xbox One in July 2018. The game is built around four pillars: exploration, survival, combat, and trading. Players are free to perform within the entirety of a procedurally generated deterministic open world universe, which includes over 18 quintillion planets. Through the game's procedural generation system, planets have their own ecosystems with unique forms of flora and fauna, and various sentient alien species may engage the player in combat or trade within planetary systems. Players advance in the game by mining for resources to power and improve their equipment, buying and selling resources using credits earned by documenting flora and fauna, and otherwise seeking out the mystery around the Atlas, an entity at the center of the universe.
The fourth major update, titled No Man's Sky Next, was released for Windows and PlayStation 4 on 24 July 2018; this also coincided with No Man's Sky's release on Xbox One which included all updates including Next.[29][30] Additionally, the Next update will include support for Tencent's WeGame distribution platform in China, which Hello Games says hosts a significant number of No Man's Sky players.[31]
No Man's Sky Next is a significant update to the game that Hello Games considered to be more representative of the game they wanted to release in 2016. The update included a full multiplayer experience, allowing up to four players to create and customize their in-game avatar and to join as allies to explore planets and star systems and build bases together, or as opponents to fight against each other. Bases are no longer limited to specific spots on a planet and now can be built nearly anywhere, including underwater, and such bases will be visible to all other players of the game (on their respective platform). Players are able to assemble fleets of starships to be used to send out on various missions. The game's engine has gotten a significant overhaul in how planets are procedurally generated as well as how they are rendered to the player.[32] At launch, the GOG.com version of No Man's Sky Next lacked the multiplayer component, a feature that Hello Games expects to add later in the year to work with the GOG Galaxy software, but otherwise had all new content.[33] As a result, GOG offered refunds within a limited window for anyone that had bought the game regardless of when that purchase was made.[34]
Following Next, Hello Games plans to be more interactive with the community and provide more frequent updates, including weekly content with special events with community-driven goals that will provide all players with in-game currency to purchase in-game items, but otherwise free to all players and without microtransactions.[35][36] The first such event was launched in late August 2018.[37] Additionally, Hello Games launched the Galactic Atlas, a website that players can upload information about interesting discoveries they found in-game for other players to explore themselves.[38]
Subsequent content updates to the game continued after the release of Next. "The Abyss", added in October 2018, greatly expanded the game's features in aquatic biomes, with more creatures, resources, base-building features, additional story content, and a new personal submarine vehicle to help explore underwater areas.[39] The next major update "Visions", released in November 2018, expanded the number of biomes available, incorporated more abnormal flora and fauna on certain worlds, and included the opportunity to collect resources and trophies from the crash sites of freighters, alien bases, and fossilized creatures.[40][41]
Another free update, "Beyond", is expected for release in mid-2019 and will feature three major components. One component, called "Online" is expected to expand upon the game's multiplayer features.[42][43] A second component is virtual reality support for Windows-compatible headsets as well as PlayStation VR on the PlayStation 4 version.[44]
