We have no idea how Hello Games does it, but there’s yet another big update coming out for No Man’s Sky, very soon after the quite robust Origins Update.
Dubbed No Man’s Sky Next Generation, as you’d guess, it is a free update for next-gen consoles and the PC with a number of great sounding visual enhancements as well as engine upgrades. We’re talking 4K @ 60fps, crazy quick load times, more densely populated and detailed environments, larger online multiplayer sessions with cross-play, and more. PS5 owners will get some additional controller and audio features as well.
Have a look at the trailer, some screens and the official details below and at the official site.
