It comes alongside the game's latest expansion, called Beacon, launching on all platforms.
No Man's Sky is about to take flight on yet another new platform: developer Hello Games announced today that the sci-fi exploration game will be getting a free update that will enhance it for the Nintendo Switch 2, which launches on June 5th.
The game came to the original Switch in 2022, and Hello Games says getting it crammed onto Nintendo's previous console was "a bit of a technical miracle," while calling the Switch 2 version "a huge leap forward." On the Switch 2, the game will improve both the amount and quality of stuff on screen at any given moment. "We're rendering significantly more than before, at a higher resolution and improved framerate," the developer says.
It will also feature full multiplayer support, which was missing from the first Switch version of the game. Additionally, the Switch 2 version of No Man's Sky will include features like touchscreen support, gyro controls, and cross-save.
The new platform is part of a larger update that spans all versions of the game. Called Beacon, it introduces something of a settlement management element to the game. Here's how Hello Games explains it:
As with all updates for No Man's Sky, Beacon will be free to download. It launches today.
