NEXT Major Update Will Be Free for Existing Owners, Coming Soon
Hello Games has announced that No Man’s Sky — the ambitious procedurally-generated space exploration game — will make the jump to Xbox One sometime in 2018, alongside a major new update for the game.
Previously released in August 2016 for PS4 and PC, the Xbox One version of No Man’s Sky will come loaded with HDR and 4K support for Xbox One X users. An Xbox One physical edition of the game will be distributed by 505 Games for a worldwide release. The Xbox One version includes all post-launch content released to date, the three major updates (Foundation, Pathfinder, Atlas Rises), and the next major update.
The upcoming update even has its own name, No Man’s Sky Next, and will be the largest update to the game yet. It will be free to download for existing players on PS4 and PC.
“We are calling this No Man’s Sky NEXT because it is an important next step in a journey for No Man’s Sky, for Hello Games and for our devoted community,” said Sean Murray, founder at Hello Games. “Each update for No Man’s Sky has been more successful than the last; this was especially true of our last update Atlas Rises. It emboldens the team to push ourselves further. This journey is far from over, and it’s exciting to be working again on something you know will surprise people.”
Not much else is known about the NEXT update but a new logo on the website shows another logo for the WARE platform. For fans of the game, Ware-tech.cloud is connected to the No Man’s Sky ARG and could play a big role in the NEXT update. We’ll just have to wait and see when it arrives later this year.
