No Man's Sky Beyond (PS4, PlayStation VR)

No Man’s Sky is an epic science fiction adventure set across an infinite universe, in which every star is the light of a distant sun, orbited by planets filled with life – each yours to visit. Explore never before seen worlds and trade, fight and survive on a galactic scale.

Update 2.0, Beyond, massively expands the multiplayer experience introduced in NEXT, takes immersion to a whole new level with fully-fledged Virtual Reality, overhauls base building, NPCs, technology trees, and much, much more.

Marking the three year anniversary of No Man’s Sky, this is our largest update so far, broadening the experience across the entire game.

Our journey continues.

THE BEST TIME TO START A NEW JOURNEY

Missions and tutorials have been significantly revised. The early game has been streamlined and focused to better teach players new mechanics, particularly in VR.

New story content has been added to weave together the existing strands of the Atlas Path, the journey of the Space Anomaly, and the story of Artemis.

Substances, crafted products, new technologies and other curiosities are automatically added to the new Catalogue when first encountered. A rework of the Pinning system allows players to get detailed step-by-step instructions on how to find or build any item in their Catalogue.

AMBIENT MULTIPLAYER

Ambient encounters with other explorers are now represented with full character models, allowing players to see each other’s character and ship customisations. Surviving, building, and exploring together is richer and more immediate than ever.
Use the Voice & Networking interface to group up with any explorers you encounter.

A NEW SOCIAL HUB

The Space Anomaly has been transformed into an all-new social hub. This unique communal space exists across all systems and galaxies, giving all explorers an opportunity to see each others’ character and ship customisations, meet new friends, and undertake missions together.

The Space Anomaly’s powerful teleporter allows explorers to easily browse and visit each others’ bases directly from the Anomaly.

The Teleporter will also feature exceptional bases created by members of the No Man’s Sky community, bringing visitors from across the stars to see the best bases in the universe.

NEXUS MISSIONS

Multiplayer missions are now initialised from The Nexus, located aboard the Space Anomaly. A large set of unique missions is currently available – including a new style of mission – Base Construction.

TECHNOLOGY TREES

Blueprints are now visualised through unlockable technology trees. Learning new crafting recipes is now clearer, more interactive, and more rewarding.

The Blueprint Analyser has been transformed into an advanced Construction Research Unit. Players may now choose their own research paths, and more clearly visualise their research progress. Even more base parts are available aboard the Space Anomaly.
