Hello Games has been hard at work to improve and expand No Man’s Sky. We hope you enjoy. :)
Thank you so much,
Hello Games
I haven’t played No Man’s Sky in a few years. I’m blown away that they’re still releasing free major content. Did they add in game purchases or something? Or are they literally just offering everything for free once you’ve purchased the base game?
“are they literally just offering everything for free once you’ve purchased the base game?”
Yes.
Dope
Apparently they made so much money up front with the game, and are such a small studio, that they can just do free updates basically forever and be fine. Plus, each update also brings new players.
@CitizenKong @jballs I understand that Sean would want to please those who were disappointed after the launch, but it says something about the lack of greed of Hello Games that they haven’t charged for *any* update long after most would say that they’ve delivered on their original promise.
Yes but at the same time the price of the game hasn’t dropped below a certain point so they’re probably still earning a little bit off new sales.
I think this is them merging engine changes they’re making for their new game though.

Meanwhile I paid $5 for a ps4 disc copy before they fixed it, so I think I got my money’s worth. Digital has mostly hovered around $30 until recently though.
This is almost certainly corresponding to changes made for the new game that they decided to merge into NMS too, because why not? Since they use very similar technology it only makes sense. Improve the previous game, increasing sales, while also generating goodwill with users that prove you’ll work on your games for years to come, all with the only cost being what it takes to integrate stuff you were going to make anyway.
Battle Mechs. Bug hunts. Bug Queens.
I’m from Buenos Aires and I say, kill em all!
Ugh, finally –
Fixed an issue that prevented Cream Fingers from being edible.
Those floating islands with their own waterfalls look amazing, can’t wait to set up a base on one.
Random world gen is always probably gonna make floating islands but i like how they worked with that and made it a feature cus who doesn’t want to land a starship on a floating wizard castle
I like that they’ve been slowly tackling the lighting/shadow system,
Since it’s a huge task and it’s desperately needed.planetary updates were my #1 wish so looks like nms is back in the menu boys
Might have to redownload this this weekend!
Amazing! Can’t wait until my gaming laptop gets fixed so I can play this
…I didn’t finish Expedition 13 because of my spontaneous motherboard failure :(
There’s always the redux they run at the end of the year
Part 1!
😃😃😃
Love to hear her say “our journey continues”.
I’m so hyped for the updated planets.

I was really hoping planets would have different bioms, maybe in part 2. Still always excited to see updates coming to this game. I always say “next update I’ll get into it”
Didn’t they say different biomes in the trailer?
Nah. I thought so too but I checked the patch notes and it’s just more variety with new generation of animals, flora, and all that
Does this mean deep water planets? Or will they still be basically a shallow planet wide lake?
Nothing I would like more than an almost entirely water planet with underwater building, I would spent hundreds of hours building in it
Need to find me a subnautica planet
like that minus the leviathans
nah, plus the leviathans. I can’t wait for subnautica 3
wow
Honestly, I am not seeing a big difference so far. I loaded my various saves and checked to see if any of my bases were affected, but didn’t see much of a change. Yes, clouds and water are better looking, and some planets had some new terrain features, but nothing major. I wonder if they limited the impacts to existing inhabited planets?
I would assume already discovered planets aren’t really affected
I could be mistaken but when they released the pirate update they said only undiscovered system as not to mess with the existing conflict levels or soemthing
My main base planet changed to an ugly shade of orange and now there’s bubble atmosphere that wasn’t there before. The geometry looks about the same, but there are some changes that could be a little upsetting.
I much rather have this update though and build a new base on another planet.
I’ve seen both happen in previous updates, so I don’t know what the intention was with this particular update.
Liquidators
Love the name. I wonder if I can get my son to play it with me
