No Man's Sky Now Has Its 20th Free Post-Launch Update

Even more content!? These guys must be on crack or something - the literal Insomniac studios 😂

Can't wait to see how they've handled the Switch port.

This expedition actually sounds really cool, i stopped doing them as they were too grindy but this one seems to put a great twist on them. Also Space Whales 😍

Really wish you could start this game and skip the tutorial. Only reason I’ve never returned to this game as the tutorial is too long winded.

I don't care what anyone says... Hello Games has more than redeemed themselves with all these free updates and support that they didn't have to do.

I haven't played NMS in years, but I'm thinking of jumping back in just to see how much it's changed.

Do I understand it correctly, that if I don't do this mission now, I won't be able to this update mission 6 months from now?

@itsfoz do you mean fixing your ship or the full awakenings mission? You're able to completely ignore the missions. In the expedition they don't include the awakenings missions either. I felt the same way but did the last expedition a few times and didn't have to run through the full tutorial

The post launch support is insane.
I just as myself - do they still earn money with the game?

The game really was released years too early. If there hadn't be pressure to release it by a certain date it would never have released in what was essentially an alpha build of the game. I still have a copy of the original disc because they were going for dirt cheap about a year after it launched. It's one of the few active games that has went back up in price for used copies.

@lolwhatno ok thanks, jumping in now then. Its been quite awhile it will take a bit to learn again.

Admiral, there be whales here

Revealing my nerdiness aside, I actually really enjoyed this at launch and haven't really jumped back in since. I think I'll have to now as this looks amazing

Space whales alone are enough to make me once again play more of the game.^^

I would love for them to take 5 years and create a new IP. It is clear they have immense talent, especially being a small team.

Who knows, maybe No Mans Sky was a massive marketing tactic to purposely under deliver on the game, only to have this crazy redemption arc. Highly doubt though.

Wow, I only just finished the last one.

I suspect they have the tools to add new missions quite quickly now, so hopefully it shouldn't get in the way of their next project. Hats-off to them, though.

@theMEGAniggle They are already working on something new, all we know whatever it is its that its as big if not bigger then NMS. Have no idea if its another space game or something completely different we just know its massive and not NMS2.

@WallyWest imma be very interested in how that goes. They’re in my top 10 devs for sure, hopefully a more fleshed out rpg kinda space game is on the way

I'm conflicted about NMS because I can't fault Hello Games for all the free additions, but at the same time I feel it's set a precedent for developers to release now and fix later.
Pure speculation but I wouldn't be surprised if CDPR looked and thought they'd get away with releasing Cyberpunk in such a sorry state and then 'do a No Man's Sky'.
