No Man's Sky's Beyond update has rejuvenated the colourful space exploration title, acting as a sort of re-launch. Among many other things, the game-changing expansion added in support for PlayStation VR, a feature many players had been asking for since launch. While the VR mode is well implemented, it does significantly reduce the quality of the visual presentation. However, that could be about to change.
Hello Games posted a huge update to Steam, detailing the next phase of its "experimental branch" -- in other words, allowing early access to future updates before they're released properly. Among the myriad improvements listed, the studio makes the following two points regarding PSVR:
- Introduced a number of PC VR and PSVR rendering optimisations.
- Significantly improved image quality in PSVR: reduced blurriness caused by TAA jitter and fixed low-quality terrain/atmosphere jaggies.
So, in the near future, No Man's Sky will receive an update that will vastly improve how the game looks in PSVR. It's now just a matter of when; hopefully it won't be too long before the patch becomes available to download.

"Hmm, is that it? Can you think of something more to say?"
Not really.
I was happy enough with how NMS looks in VR anyways so it's all a bonus.
Great, any improvement on visual quality in PSVR is welcome . NMS is not too bad in PSVR but I have to admit it is currently blurry.
I dont have VR, but I did just re buy the game. Weird to see planets listed I 'discovered' 3 years ago. I like a lot of what they've done but its still unpolished, have seen N64 style textures not resolve and fell through the map a few times...
I'll never get to play this game...every time I'm about to, a new update gets announced which I feel I have to wait for
I was waiting for this patch. I couldn’t stand the blurriness and as a result, couldn’t continue with it. Let’s hope this is a significant patch as noted in the patch notes.
I got the vr and nms together as i wanted for the VR play. I found it unplayable in VR coz it was so blurry i couldn't read the text. So i gave up after 30 mins and played without it. I was disappointed so this news is fab. Maybe i can use it after all
@KnightWolf The SR news is actually a month old and widely reported. But as often the case, the news cycle moves so fast that it is easy to miss something simple like an announcement since nothing was shown. I know I miss stuff all the time.

Hands down best VR experience of all time.
@Britmatt81 If you're new to VR, make sure your headset is at just the right alignment with your eyes. A quarter of an inch up or down can instantly get rid of blurriness. My text in NMS VR is crystal clear most of the time.
@invictus4000 Hi thanks for reply. Where do i find the text you mentioned ? Also you mentioned a quarter of an inches up or down but ps tells me to align it with my pupils.
I just mean any text in game I see is clear for me. And despite what the PS tells you, if the images in the headset seem blurry at all, just play with it a bit, adjusting how it is sitting on your head slightly until the blurriness goes away. Even being a little bit off can make a big difference.
