[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Here's the new No Man's Sky trailer for the game's latest update, No Man's Sky Adrift. For the first time, players can explore an abandoned universe in the Adrift Expedition. Use the Iron Vulture Star Ship as a safe haven in these perilous worlds with no NPCs, no shops, and no help. Will you make a pact with the ghostly new frigate class and unravel the mystery at the heart of this new universe? Check out the trailer for a look at some new No Man's Sky Adrift gameplay and a peek at what to expect.

How's that Staruhfeeldz going, Bethesda?

Only reason I haven't dove into this game balls deep, I'm still waiting to get a decent price for PSVR2...

 

[Draugoth]

The support for this game will never end

 

[midnightAI]

The support for this game will never end

I am really looking forward to Light No Fire, I'd buy that game anyway even if I wasn't interested just to support Hello Games

 

[Dr.D00p]

50% off Steam Sale, incoming...

 

[Impotaku]

Still remember some absolute clown on here saying starfield would make no mans sky totally obsolete.

Strange as I don’t see Bethesda offering shitloads of free content, hell you can barely get them to even fix the bugs.

This is the one game that could tempt me to get a psvr2. The story isn’t super gripping but the fun of infinite exploration in vr never got old even when I was playing it via the slightly more janky psvr1 version.

 

[Skifi28]

Does the drift edition come bundled with a modern controller for the extra immersion?

 

[Lucifers Beard]

The speed of the content output for this game is very impressive. It's not for me, but damn anyone into this game sure gets their money's worth!

Starfield was obsolete the day it was released

 

[ClosBSAS]

Instill dont get the game...everytime i launch it, I just run around doing jack shit.

 

[Alebrije]

I played the Game at launch , spent a Lot of hours farming and creating new ítems. But never Managed to end it.

After all those updates sometimes I want to play it again but at the same time all those updates make me think it's not the same game now.

I have the original physical Game , if I nstall it on My PS5 Will get all those updates for free? Or they have a cost?

All updates are free.

 

[Kiya's Guard]

Another?!

 

[Boralf]

 

[drotahorror]

E.

 

[FoxMcChief]

So they made an option to turn stuff off?

 

[drotahorror]

What does this even mean?

 

[Sintoid]

Cant believe I still play it since day one and across different platforms

 

[gow3isben]

If No Mans Sky in its current state was what was originally released on release day would it be GOTY and blow people’s minds?

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

This game is so amazing in PSVR2. I've been playing it since day one on PS4.

 

[Denton]

I know it's in vogue to praise NMS and hate on Starfield, but I still maintain that the best thing about NMS is its soundtrack, and I will take even mediocre but still story-and-quest-driven RPG like Starfield over NMS.

I'm tweeting this to Hello Games right now.

 

[ByWatterson]

Occasionally I think this is my #1 game all time. Then it fades, then they drop some new brilliance and I'm back.

 

[LaughingStock]

This is something I alwayd wanted in this game.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

HG are very smart - the game is never more than 50% off, which translates to 25€. It has incredible legs.

 

[dreamstation]

Haven't been able to watch the trailer yet but is there anything in this update for players continuing in the normal modes?

 

[ReBurn]

I bought this day 1 on PS4 and it just keeps on giving. Looking forward to trying the changes.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Whilst I’m no fan of the release now fix later strategy, I have to hand it to the studio, they are not one of the bigger studios but their efforts have put some of the big names to shame.

 

[Panajev2001a]

Nice this is like an improved No Man’s Sky: Classic mode! Game changed a lot and mostly for the better, but it lost some sense of exploration and adventure. This game is so well supported, great job Hello Games!

 

[SoloCamo]

So uhh.... is there anything to actually DO in this besides generic farming, etc? Every video I see of it makes me want to go to sleep.

 

[nkarafo]

Will this do it for me if i want Subnautica in space?

 

[John Bilbo]

What does this even mean?

Controller stick drift

 

[Trogdor1123]

Is the game good for new players to start up? I’d like to try it.

 

[Optimus Lime]

It's a truly incredible game, and at this point, is one of the most comprehensive space exploration games on the market - one of the best ever made. We are a far cry from those post launch days where weirdo losers were taking photos of the outside of the Hello Games offices and basically threatening to kill Sean Murray every time the game was discussed. Fucking idiots.

 

[nemiroff]

Will this do it for me if i want Subnautica in space?

Not really, in my opinion. I sort of enjoyed my time with NMS, but Subnautica is a lot more focused and tangible experience to me.

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Performance still shit?

 

[MadchesterManc]

I'll probably give this new mode a blast if it brings the game back to a similar feel as near launch. Keep trying to get back in every update but there's an almost overwhelming amount of additions for someone that mainly played at the beginning

 

[FoxMcChief]

I go back every once in a while. Never lasts more than one sitting anymore. I’ve put 400+ hours into it across Steam, PS4 and Xbox. I really don’t think I’ve done anything other than increase my inventory, and buy ships here and there. I don’t regret my time with it, but the game is soulless and empty feeling to me now.

I really am looking forward to their next game.

 

[RoadHazard]

Instill dont get the game...everytime i launch it, I just run around doing jack shit.

Sounds like a you problem.

 

[LaughingStock]

Will this do it for me if i want Subnautica in space?

Wondering the same but I doubt it. They may have added solitude but it probably still lacks that feeling of dread.

 

[Optimus Lime]

The people saying there's nothing to do, or they don't know what to do, are completely puzzling to me. Press ESC, go to 'Expedition', and there's an entire plotline with an upgrade tree that guides you through the entire game. Did people just stop playing in 2016 or something, yet still talk about it as though it's remotely the same game that it was at launch?

 

[Kazdane]

In all seriousness, the game is amazing and there's plenty of story to discover (and easy to follow as you follow actual questlines). I have to check if there's a new expedition underway already with this patch.

 

[Buggy Loop]

If No Mans Sky in its current state was what was originally released on release day would it be GOTY and blow people’s minds?

Nope

Well for some I guess. I think I’ve tried like 6 times to get into it and it’s so boring to me. The gathering and crafting part of it all is an hinderance to what could have been a good space « sim », vaguely using sim here as that part is also too simplistic for my tastes.

Those who like crafting and all, a space Minecraft almost, I’m sure it’s their GOTG.

 

[Synless]

Instill dont get the game...everytime i launch it, I just run around doing jack shit.

It’s like Minecraft but with actual shit to do.

If they had third party collabs in the same way Minecraft does they would own it.

 

[gow3isben]

Ok fair

Does it live up to the original promise of the devs?

 

[Buggy Loop]

Yeah for sure, exceeded a while ago even with all the patches. Kudos to the team 100% and it’s one of those stories of a huge redemption arc to be remembered

I just realize that, even though I keep falling into buying crafting games like Don’t Starve, NMS, Minecraft, Subnautica, Grounded, Valheim… I always stop playing them rapidly. I guess I have enough engineering in a day as that’s my job. I kind of want to escape reality and not have to memorize all these pieces of crafting. Really hate crafting in general now thinking about it, also when slapped into action games. Maybe I should stop buying them

Do these expeditions work offline?

My man it's an interactive long-form poem. Let your guard down and just ride the meter and the rhyme scheme.
