No Man’s Sky didn’t have the best launch. In fact, I’d be willing to argue that it had the worst launch. But developer Hello Games has done an admirable job supporting the game since then, and this latest update has me seriously thinking about diving back in. The 1.3 “Atlas Rises” update, releasing today, is massive. It brings new story, new visuals, new gameplay, and the first scraps...
How much have you spent on one game? I’d be willing to bet it pales in comparison to the amount of money gamer Blake Patterson has dumped into his pursuit of the ultimate No Man’s Sky experience. Patterson wrote in a column for Polygon this week that he’s spent well-over $4,000 in his quest. And unlike so many other stories about No Man’s Sky, this isn’t one of disappointment....
No Man’s Sky is back with another update that is promising to add a whole new layer of depth to it. The new Path Finder update will add land vehicles to the mix and expand the previous Foundation update later this week. Hello Games announced the launch date in an official update on its website. This week Hello Games will be releasing the next content update for No Man’s Sky. We’re...
File miners dug through the most recent “Foundation” update after it released this weekend for No Man’s Sky and turned up hints of the next potential update. Files deep inside the update, uncovered by Reddit user eegandj, paint a picture of a space buggy that can help players cross terrain with more ease. Inside a folder called “BUGGY,” eegandj first claimed to discover textures for...
Hello Games continues to plug away at No Man's Sky, and now that the holiday weekend is all wrapped up, it released the first of many free updates. This "Foundation" update is huge, adding new activities within the game and fixing a number of crippling bugs. The biggest update of them all is the addition of building bases, the first major overhaul to the core game. Both the trailer and...
![[UPDATE] No Man's Sky developer's Twitter calls game a mistake, claims account hacked amid confusion](https://www.technobuffalo.com/sites/technobuffalo.com/files/styles/w300h225crop/public/wp/2016/09/no-mans-sky-planets.jpg?itok=n7zaV4VK)
After months of silence following the release of No Man’s Sky, developer Hello Games’ Twitter account saw a post appear and disappear that called the game “a mistake.” Developer lead Sean Murray’s official Twitter has been updated as well, suggesting that the post was the result of a hack. The tweet has since been deleted, and the Hello Games twitter account put into protected mode....
With an endless universe comes endless issues. No Man’s Sky released early last month and received some patches on both PlayStation 4 and PC within days. Since then, developer Hello Games has been radio silent, presumably continuing to work on fixes for the highly anticipated game – director Sean Murray hasn’t tweeted in a full month. While Hello Games is continuing to work on fixes,...
Hello Games says they’re committed to making No Man’s Sky work. What the working version looks like and how it might compare to the lofty expectations once held by the gaming world remains to be seen. The studio is, however, working on it. In a post to their official site late last week, Hello Games indicated that their “focus is first on resolving any issues people have with the game...
Following two long years of hype and excitement, No Man’s Sky isn’t quite the game that many were hoping for. The sales figures all fell into place to make the game a successful launch, but a combination of mediocre critical reception and misplaced expectations have cast the idea of a long-term success into doubt. On Steam alone, as relayed by SteamSpy’s figures, the game has already...

To access it, right-click on the game in your library, click on the properties menu and select “Betas.” From there, a prompt will tell you to “Select the...
