No Man’s Sky lands on Xbox One in July, full multiplayer experience hits all platforms

As promised, Hello Games is not only gearing up for the July 24th, 2018 launch of No Man’s Sky on the Xbox One, they are also set to release their massive, game changing No Man’s Sky NEXT update which brings along full online multiplayer experience and a lot more.

We’ve always appreciated No Man’s SKy for what it was, and to have a developer like Hello Games continue to stick with their product and build out their vision as they have continued to do so — we need to give them kudos for sure.

See some details of the Xbox One launch and the NEXT update below.

Hello Games, an indie team based in the United Kingdom, announced live to fans via Inside Xbox that No Man?s Sky will launch on Xbox One on Tuesday, July 24 in North America, and Friday, July 27 in Europe. This launch will bring a full multiplayer experience for the first time to the limitless procedural universe. As part of No Man?s Sky NEXT, this will be a free update launching simultaneously for new players on Xbox One and existing players on PC and PS4.

?Multiplayer completely changes the No Man?s Sky experience; it?s emergent, fun and intense in ways we always wanted it to be. I?m so happy this is finally happening,? said Sean Murray, founder, Hello Games. ?It is genuinely exciting to be able to fully realize the potential so many people could see in No Man?s Sky. This will be our biggest update yet and we?re pumped to be bringing Xbox players along on the journey with us now too.?

With this launch, players across Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Steam on PC will be able to explore, fight and survive with friends as they voyage across the vast, procedurally-generated sandbox universe in multiplayer mode, with features including:

  • Explore the infinite universe with your friends, or bump into random travellers
  • As you voyage together, friends will help you stay alive, or prey on others to survive
  • Build bases from tiny shelters to complex colonies that you create as a team and can be seen by the community
  • Be a pirate or a wingman in epic space battles with friends and foes
  • Race exocraft across weird alien terrains and create tracks to share online

The Xbox One launch of No Man?s Sky will include Next and three other major updates (Foundation, Pathfinder, Atlas Rises) as well as dozens of smaller patches.

505 Games will distribute the physical Xbox One version worldwide. For more information about No Man?s Sky and the upcoming Next update, please visit: https://www.nomanssky.com/
