No Man's Sky turns 10 years old

This game has had an amazing journey — from a complete failure at release in 2016 to a quite successful project, regularly supplied with free expansions. If at first NMS was available only on PC, now it is played by users of all modern consoles. At launch, the developers couldn't add the promised multiplayer mode, but now it offers several types of multiplayer at once. Previously unseen possibilities have appeared, including cooperative base building and fanciful starships for conquering trillions of worlds.

As per tradition, Hello Games head Sean Murray addressed gamers. He noted that over the decade, the studio has released 40 free expansions, which provided the game not only with the basic functions promised before release, but also with the widest range of possibilities. Among them are building on different planets, taming pets, exploring oceans, creating armored exosuits, and cooperative expeditions. Users have spent hundreds of millions of hours in virtual space — and still, this time wasn't enough even to explore 1% of the digital universe, since procedural generation makes it almost infinite.

In confirmation of their head's words, the Hello Games team published a trailer demonstrating important changes in the game. In addition, Murray noted that his company is busy with the next major project — Light No Fire, and a major update called Cosmos is being prepared for NMS. What exactly this patch will differ by is still unknown — information about it will be announced later. Meanwhile, gamers can take advantage of a 10% discount on a bundle of all the developers' products.
