No Man’s Sky has had a great month, coincidentally around the launch of the other big space adventure of the day.

No Man’s Sky has been one of the best examples of a video redemption story, and developer Hello Games never stopped expanding the game with new content, and more features. Just recently, the procedural space adventure celebrated its seventh anniversary with the Echoes update, and it doesn’t look like there’s an end in sight to this support.

But do these updates bring back players? The answer is an emphatic yes! Hello Games founder, Sean Murray, recently revealed that No Man’s Sky is having “its biggest month in the last few years.” Interestingly, this is happening across all platforms where No Man’s Sky is available - so PC, consoles, Mac, and even VR.

    It’s strange, people can’t seem to help themselves.

    Even the Star Citizen community was full of people talking about how Starfield was finally going to deliver as the superior sandbox space sim.

    Space Game is not a genre, it’s a setting. Bethesda RPGs are gonna Bethesda RPG, no matter how you flavor it.

        I get what you’re saying, this happens with almost every major release but cyberpunk promised far for than it delivered. The version 2.0 that released soon should have been what we got in the initial release. We were promised multiplayer, that got cancelled. We were promised multiple dlc, phantom liberty is the only dlc they’re going to release. I’m still excited nonetheless.
