From the very start, players have been calling for virtual reality support to be added to the huge space exploration game, No Man's Sky. It always seemed like a good fit; walking around surreal alien planets in a virtual space just makes sense, doesn't it?
Well, good news: the Beyond update for No Man's Sky, revealed earlier this month, will be bringing PlayStation VR support to the game. Announced during Sony's State of Play presentation, the update appears to take the whole game into virtual reality, from flying your spaceship to building bases. Beyond is a free content update for existing players, too.
What do you think? Will you be exploring Hello Games' universe in PSVR? Beam us up in the comments below.

I've had NMS since launch, and while it was disappointing, it's only gotten better every update. This game has been screaming VR since day one. I'll definitely be jumping back in for a fresh new game.
This and Iron Man were reason enough to make State of Play a success. Just a shame people weren't looking at it objectivly enough. Sony has to be seen to be supporting VR so this was a huge win.
Always wanted to try NMS with VR.
And it's even a free update!
I'm definitely getting a PSVR this year.
Game changer. If PSVR support came to Elite Dangerous I'd be seriously tempted to buy one.
Super excited for this highly requested update. And free again.
Ultimate win, NMS is perfect for VR! Will definitely dive right back in.
Well done Hello. All is forgiven.
Ooo, I feel a definite repurchase of NMS for this 😎
Never thought to get the game, but with all the updates and VR... I might just get this.
I don't know how, but they did it! Those crazy fools finally did it!
Damn! Now I have to buy NMS.
I think I'll just delete my incompleted gamesave and start anew once this is out. Respect to Sean and all of hello games, they deserve it.
Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is.
You have to see it for yourself.
This news blew me! When games like resident evil, skyrim, WipeOut, Tetris, etc go VR the gaming experience is unlike anything on traditional flat screen - screams future of gaming. NMS in VR for me is a sign of what is to come.
To be fair, im a bit skeptical. The idea is great, but the game already have slight performance issues even on Pro, so im not sure how would it even work with the more demanding VR. Just how much the graphics will be scaled back?
Time to reinstall.
It's happening! It's actually happening!! I reinstalled No Man's Sky a couple of months back and really enjoyed it all over again, just exploring planet after plane;t but this is going to take it to a whole new level. However they've managed to achieve this, wow! Just wow. This is one of those times it really hits you how exciting games can be!!! Nerd-gasms all over!!
Putting on my space VR helmet and playing again !
I can't wait!!, been waiting for this since the original release. I haven't played for a while but NMS is still installed on my Pro so as soon as the update is released I'll be dusting off my PSVR headset .
Reinstalling & deleting game save to start anew.
I never jumped into the No Man's Sky bandwagon, but I always thought it could be a nice game for the PSVR. Glad they thought so too, I'll buy it right away once said update is out
