Hello Games has officially updated No Man's Sky to add new virtual reality features, expand its lore, and bring new experiences to the game. This free update is called Interceptor. And it brings a new corruption throughout the universe, which gives rise to new enemies. There's also a new Starship you can collect, which is powered by new technology and equipped with new features.

The game also gets visual improvements and new features for VR, including wrist interface controls. There are also Xbox-focused improvements for a smooth and consistent frame rate in the game. Interceptor is available for download on the PC, the PS4 and the PS5, the Xbox One and Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and virtual reality.

'No Man's Sky' is coming to the Nintendo Switch on October 7

No Man's Sky is finally ready to make the leap to the Nintendo Switch. The highly anticipated game will be coming to Nintendo's portable console on October 7. It will get all the features and upgrades that developer Hello Games introduced to other consoles. It's unclear how the game will perform on Nintendo's hardware, but the developer wanted to assure users it would run reasonably well. 

Digital and physical editions of the game will be available on the Switch on its launch day. On the same day, fans can buy a physical version for the PS5, followed by a Mac and iPad version later this year.

Hello Games wants to improve VR graphic quality of 'No Man's Sky'

No Man's Sky brought virtual reality support to the game through its "Beyond" update. But that wasn't without its issues. VR players were running into problems with the game's graphics, particularly on the PSVR. That's why the studio Hello Games wants to bring optimizations to the game—not just to the PSVR but to all VR platforms as well.

‘No Man’s Sky’ goes online with an upcoming free update

Hello Games just announced the next chapter for its game No Man’s Sky. The developer calls this next update No Man’s Sky: Beyond, and it’ll have three parts to it. The only one they’ve announced so far is No Man’s Sky Online. We don’t know anything beyond the title, but Hello Games calls it a “radical” new multiplayer experience, where it’ll let “players everywhere in the universe to meet and play together.” Beyond this description, the game developers aren’t offering much but say the changes are a response to how players responded to the NEXT update, which was released last year. The NEXT update added multiplayer support for up to 16 players, so it isn’t clear what the Online and Beyond experience will be. But Hello Games claims it won’t turn the game into an MMO.
