No Man’s Sky wants to show you how much it’s changed

Ahead of No Man’s Sky NEXT, Sean Murray and Hello Games want to show you how much the base game has changed since launch.

Hello Games teamed up with Xbox to present a video detailing 11 big changes that have occurred since launch. We’ve also summarised the changes for you, delving into each of the game’s big three post-launch updates (and we found a little more than 11, to be honest!):

  • New gameplay modes: Normal mode is the original experience, Creative mode allows free exploration and creative freedom and Survival mode will test players with more extreme conditions.
  • Base building.
  • Harvesting.
  • Making camp.
  • Online base sharing.
  • Multiple ship ownership.
  • New vehicles.
  • Exocraft races.
  • New shops and traders.
  • Multi-tool specialisation and classes.
  • Galactic regeneration.
  • Mission systems.
  • Interstellar trading.
  • Terrain editing.
  • Space portals.
  • Space combat.
  • Joint exploration.

You can watch the video below:

What do you make of the changes? Enough to bring you back in, or to consider the game on Xbox One?

No Man’s Sky is currently available on Windows PC and PS4. The NEXT expansion heads to all platforms, including Xbox One, on 24 July. The NEXT update will be included in the Xbox One release, and made available to those on PC and PS4 for free.
