No Man’s Sky has had a great month, coincidentally around the launch of the other big space adventure of the day.

…

No Man’s Sky has been one of the best examples of a video redemption story, and developer Hello Games never stopped expanding the game with new content, and more features. Just recently, the procedural space adventure celebrated its seventh anniversary with the Echoes update, and it doesn’t look like there’s an end in sight to this support.

But do these updates bring back players? The answer is an emphatic yes! Hello Games founder, Sean Murray, recently revealed that No Man’s Sky is having “its biggest month in the last few years.” Interestingly, this is happening across all platforms where No Man’s Sky is available - so PC, consoles, Mac, and even VR.

    Lol tell this to people who are upset that every planet doesn’t have a thriving colony in it. The “empty planets” are frustrating to them.

    Not that you or they are wrong, it just highlights that matters of opinion on things like this are a spectrum, and sometimes you end up on the far end. I like that I can land on a planet and have something besides just rocks, but also that’s it’s procedurally generated so that it isn’t the same every time. It’s false replayability, sure, but if I like playing the game, it doesn’t matter to me that the layouts are the same.
