Summary

  • No Man's Sky just had its highest player count in around five years.
  • This comes after its latest update, Worlds Part 1, which overhauls multiple areas of the game.
  • This is a great place to be in as No Man's Sky approaches its eighth anniversary next month.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:No Man's Sky just brought in the most players it has in years following the new update. In the past 24 hours, 48,499 players logged in on Steam alone, the most that it's pulled in since its last big spike in 2019.

This coincides with the release of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the new update, Worlds Part 1. This huge overhaul introduces improvements that developer 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Hello Games has made while working on its next project, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Light No Fire. Rather than plough ahead with its next release, the devs have sprinkled some of those changes into No Man's Sky, and it's proving to be a hit with the playerbase.

No Man's Sky Worlds Part 1 Update Causes Huge Player Spike

Data from Steam Charts, showing a sudden increase in the amount of No Man's Sky players on Steam

As per , No Man's Sky's 24-hour peak on Steam is 48,499. This is the most players that have logged in since August 2019, when a spike in players saw 61,535 Steam users start playing at once.

However, this also signals that No Man's Sky is in a very strong place, even as it rapidly approaches its eighth birthday next month. With this in mind, it's not such a bad thing that we have no idea when Light No Fire will be with us - Hello Games fans seem to be very happy to spend their time in No Man's Sky while they wait.

It would have been hard to imagine No Man's Sky in this position when it launched in 2016. Back then, it was overshadowed by controversy, as players criticised the game for lacking promised features. It was also met with mixed reviews from critics, who found it to be far from the grand space-faring adventure that was promised in promotional material. However, in what is perhaps the single biggest comeback story in the industry, Hello Games won back goodwill with numerous free updates, which as we can see, continue to this day.

Lose yourself in a vast sci-fi odyssey as you explore a near-infinite, procedurally generated universe.

Set out from the edge of the Euclid gala♐xy a🔥nd carve out your own interstellar existence in a vast universe teeming with life, danger and near-endless mystery.

No Man's Sky is a hugely-ambitious, heavily-stylised, sci-fi adventure that spans entire galaxies all brought to life with procedural generation. Travel through an endless array of increasingly diverse and dangerous star systems, prospecting for rare materials, trading with alien life, populate planets and searching for clues to the meaning of the universe's mysterious existence.

How you survive is up to you. Assemble entire fleets of dreadnought-class freighte🐓rs and tear across the universe; build sprawling habitable bases across planet surfaces, beneath the ground or under the ocean; buy and upgrade your own weapons and star ships and do battle with outlaw space pirates, hostile alien fauna or the mysterious sentinel fleets.  

The universe is yo꧃urs to explore - trillions upon trillions of planets, waiting to be discovered.
