It’s exciting times in the world of No Man’s Sky with a release on Xbox One fast approaching alongside the launch of the new multiplayer game mode. And today we get a little sneaky look at that content.
Coming to Xbox one, PS4 and PC on July 24th 2018, the massive No Man’s Sky NEXT update brings a multitude of features, with multiplayer gameplay headlining. The new mode will be added to the limitless procedural universe across all platforms next week via the No Man’s Sky NEXT update, coinciding with the game’s launch on Xbox One. If you’d prefer not to go digital, then thanks to a publishing partnership with 505 Games, a full physical retail drop will be occuring.
It is with this launch that players across Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Steam for PC will be able to explore, fight and survive with friends, all as they voyage across the vast celestial sandbox.
