Virtual Reality 'No Man's Sky' Coming This Summer (gamespot.com)

"No Man's Sky is getting another large-scale update, and this one is different," writes GameSpot.

An anonymous reader quotes their report: A "No Man's Sky VR" update is scheduled for this summer, which will add free support for PlayStation VR and Steam VR. Hello Games boasts that this is the entire game brought into VR rather than a separate mode. According to the announcement, this is the second major pillar to the Beyond expansion that Hello Games previously announced. The first pillar is a major overhaul to its online play, and a third pillar is yet to be announced...

Last year, No Man's Sky issued a large-scale update called Next, which overhauled many of the game's systems. It was such a major update that we named it one of the best expansions of 2018. Hello has subsequently been issuing regular updates, like the underwater Abyss expansion and tons of new biomes in the Visions expansion.

  1. Have they finished their first feature list yet? by Qbertino · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Have they finished catching up with the big promises for the initial release? That would interest me more than following some VR Fad before Factions, Space-battles and feasible multiplayer and such are actually up and running.

    I don't have the game myself but it seems like the answer is mostly yes, from everything I read about that update...

    I will probably go in with the VR update and see how I like it.
