The iconic redemption story gets a new chapter as the No Man’s Sky Worlds update and a big Steam sale saving see its player count climb.

They’ve added so much since launch. Entirely new systems from base and ship building to full questlines. The new update improved the world generation and hoo boy is it pretty. I will say the amount of pollen on some the planets is melting my GPU.

Like actual net code, which the devs falsely claimed was in at launch?

The game has had real multiplayer for a long time, bud

It wasn’t in when they said “oh it’s just so big you won’t find anyone”

It wasn’t, but it was added I think back in 2017 or 18, so at least 6 years being able to play multiplayer. Not that it really matters, aside from base building, the game doesn’t feel better when played with a buddy or a rando.

There needs to be a full story for people who forgot / weren’t interested in the game. The devs said there is multiplayer and you can meet but you won’t since the game is so large. A day after release or so, two players “met”. The planet had a different time - day for one, night for other. They couldn’t see each other. There was no interaction possible, there just wasn’t any netcode at that point. Of course the devs then ran with the story screaming “omg people already met up! Amazing!”.

That sounds like bad news for the steam deck.

Runs fine on Steamdeck. It does chug battery life from a fire hose.
