Hello Games has just released the latest patch for its ongoing space-faring adventure game, No Man's Sky. The now-massive title has been brought up to version 2.24 with this new update, and it's available to download now on PlayStation 4. So, what's new? Only a full audio creation tool.
This new update adds a new device named ByteBeat, and you can use it to add sounds and music to your bases. It seems pretty in-depth, but the above video gives you a good idea of what's possible with this new toy. It seems you can go nuts with it if you're into sequencing and fiddling with waveforms.
You'll also be able to hook up others bits and pieces so that the music affects them. For example, you can make it so that lights flash on and off in time with your music.
This new feature comes alongside a new wave of bug fixes. You can read up on all the new patch notes through here. The patch itself is fairly substantial at about 6.3GB, but if you're into the creative side of the game, it seems worth the download.
Are you excited about the ByteBeat device in No Man's Sky? Make some sweet music in the comments below.

How bizarre...of all the things you’d think of being added to No Man’s Sky, an audio creation tool was probably not high on the list. Don’t get me wrong, though. I think this is a pretty cool addition 😎
Can I turn off these massive updates or set it to ask if I want them?
Sounds fun. I might have to dive in again
How is it No Mans Sky has not received the ongoing game award!
@Powerpellet I'm almost sure that you can make games' updates be automatic or activated manually;
But most of the games, if not updated, are not possible to play online..
I still have some questions about this game.
It isn't, still, how they said it would be, right? There are places where we can meet other players, like online lobbies, but you won't find other players while playing the game, like flying and "Hey, that's Joe that just passed by", right?
But I know it is possible to play with others, but how does that work? I assume you have to join someone's session, no? And if that person is not online, I can't continue to "build the thing we where building together". I'm assuming a similar "Conan's game behaviour".
@LowTech nah, last I played I just randomly found people about the planet, and you can join or have others join you. If you go closer to the center of the universe you'll find the settlements, there are a few official "colonies" where players have gathered.
It's pretty much what they said, minus the huge sandworms.
@Its_badW0lf But if I start building a base with my friends, they can continue to build it even if I'm not online? just a real open world where the same things are there for everyone?
@LowTech not sure about the building someone else's base but I have gone to other players bases to get some resources from their farms, that was hilarious. Not stealing mind you, people are nice and just advertise the location of some insane farms. But I haven't played in a year, so not sure if any of that changed.
ok, I've been avoiding this game for too long. I think I'll give it a shot.
Thanks @Its_badW0lf.
Pointless waste of dev time, when so many people have been patiently waiting for a Pro Patch.
@LowTech Before the "Beyond" update, the multiplayer was just in sessions with a few players. Now it is basically a "MMO" of sorts. It changed so much from the initial game, I almost can't recognize it. Somehow it lost the feeling of the first builds, so in spite of the large improvements it got, I gradually lost interest in it... Kinda liked the lonely feeling from the beginning, same feeling I get playing Death Stranding now
we need crossplay asap, Hello Games. Please
@BubaMan I just want them to allow us to do 60fps on 1080p, rather than what res it is now and 30fps. I know you can force 60fps when u switch ps4 into 1080p mode, but doing it every time is not what I can be bothered with.
Yet, still no pro patch for psvr. Smh.
@BubaMan
Whats a pro patch?
@Powerpellet A patch to improve the performance for the PS4 Pro
@Bamila I feel like Mr Magoo in PSVR - I end up headbutting my TV if I try to read dashboard info 😂
@Powerpellet PS4 Pro. Supported games run at higher resolutions on the stronger machine.
@Party_Cannon
Cool thanx I obviously have the regular ps4.
