Hello Games is making good on their promise of building out and improving No Man’s Sky, and with the next scheduled update, we’re definitely giving them the benefit of the doubt.
Dubbed the “Path Finder Update“, Hello Games is packing in a ton of enhancements into every aspect of the game. Just check out the list below for proof. No Man’s Sky appears to be pivoting into more of a customizable sandbox survival experience, a la Minecraft. Judging by the continued interest in that genre, that’s probably a pretty good idea.
See the list of changes below, and/or warp to the PS Blog or the official blog (with full patch notes) for more details.
