Description
No Man’s Sky is a game about exploration and survival in an infinite procedurally generated galaxy.
History
No Man’s Sky has been in our heads for a very long time. In fact, it has its roots in Sean Murray’s experiences growing up on a ranch in the Australian outback. It was the true middle of nowhere, where if something went wrong you were told to just stay where you were and light a fire at an exact time every day, and hope that someone would find you.
The night sky was filled with more stars than you’ve ever seen, and we’ve all thought that this is exactly where videogames would go, videogames that contained the whole universe, and you’d be able to visit it all.
No Man’s Sky takes that jump – it’s the game we’ve always wanted to make.
Released in 2016, No Man’s Sky continues to have regular major updates that keep bringing new stars, planets, biomes, creatures and stories to this infinite universe.
Features
- A TRULY OPEN UNIVERSE If you can see it, you can go there. You can fly seamlessly from the surface of a planet to another, and every star in the sky is a sun that you can visit.
- EXPLORATION IS SEEING THINGS THAT NO-ONE ELSE HAS EVER SEEN BEFORE Every creature, geological formation, plant and spaceship is unique.
- SURVIVE ON A DANGEROUS FRONTIER You are alone and vulnerable, and will face threat everywhere, from deep space to thick forests, barren deserts to dark oceans.
- BUILD FOR AN EPIC JOURNEY Collect precious materials and trade them for better spacecraft and upgrades for your suit and equipment. Prepare for your journey to the centre of the galaxy.
- A SHARED UNIVERSE Choose to share your discoveries with other players on a map of the galaxy. Strike out for unexplored frontiers or build your strengths in known space.
- 65DAYSOFSTATIC SOUNDTRACK Our favourite band, 65daysofstatic produced a soundtrack album especially for No Man’s Sky, which is featured throughout the game as a procedurally generated soundscape.
- BECOME COMPLETELY IMMERSED Experience No Man’s Sky in Virtual Reality without limitation. Switch seamlessly between VR and standard gameplay.
- EXPLORE THE UNIVERSE TOGETHER Team up with friends or join random travellers as you journey across the galaxy. Thanks to cross-play, you can play together no matter which platform you're on.
- JUMP SEEMLESSLY BETWEEN PLATFORMS Whether settling in to play on the big screen at home or whilst on the move with your handheld device, cross-save allows you to jump between platforms as you continue your journey.
