My understanding is that it launched at least a year earlier than it should have because Sony was demanding it. It was essentially an Early Access release billed as a full 1.0.
But then they spent 10 years making up for it adding features and improving the game. In the end, the game wasn’t really for me. Turns out Inlove the idea of open world space survival, but end up finding it tedious.
But I recognize that they made up for that shitty launch as well as they possibly could have, and delivered on their promises.
This and Cyberpunk are the best comeback stories of shit game releases.
They did. Sony basically co-published the game and it was a timed Sony-exclusive with HEAVY marketing from Sony. It was the first independent game ever to be featured in their E3 conference.

3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I mean, I wouldn’t put it past Sony to do something like that, but I’m not sure they had a big hand in no mans sky’s launch.
