Somehow, it's been 10 years since No Man's Sky launched on Steam, an infamously inauspicious occasion that over the space of that decade evolved from a cautionary tale about the excesses of hype to one of the best and most enduring exploration adventures you can play. And it's not done yet: Hello Games has now released No Man's Sky's 7.0 update, Cosmos , and it's another big one... Read more.

No Man's Sky is a decade old. Let that sink in. No, seriously, you'll need plenty of water to survive the trips that the massive space game's 10th anniversary update allows you to embark on. It's now possible to get up close and personal with the stars that serve as suns in each system. Or, if the risk of fiery death's not your cup of tea, you can establish a new home by taking over as director of a space station or building an orbital base that floats among the stars. Read more

No Man’s Sky исполнилось 10 лет, и Hello Games отметила юбилей выходом крупного обновления 7.0 под названием COSMOS. Главным направлением нового контента стала масштабная переработка космической части игры, которая теперь предлагает игрокам больше возможностей для строительства, добычи ресурсов и взаимодействия друг с другом. С обновлением игроки могут покупать, строить и оформлять собственные космические станции как снаружи, так и внутри. На их основе можно создавать клубы и места для общения, а также объединяться в управляемые игроками альянсы. Такие объединения позволяют формировать сетевые

Hello everyone,Thank you for helping us celebrate our 10th Anniversary last month. It was emotional to hear people’s stories and memories from playing over the years. We feel lucky to still be able do big crazy things with No Man’s Sky after ten years, and our next update COSMOS is one of our biggest and craziest! Full patch notes here.No Man’s Sky is often referred to as “a Space Game”, it’s a huge part of our game, but we’ve never really updated space since release. In most sci-fi games, space is just an empty void. With Cosmos we wondered - can we make space feel truly alive? And could we m

Кооперативная приключенческая игра Light No Fire от создателей No Man’s Sky давно не появлялась в новостях, но работа над ней по-прежнему активно ведётся. Студия Hello Games просто не хочет преждевременно раскрывать все карты и предпочитает сосредоточиться на производстве. Об этом в беседе со СМИ рассказал геймдизайнер Шон Мюррей.

What's that? It's been 10 years since No Man's Sky launched? Oh! That's gone by a bit too quick! In that time the planet hopping survival game has changed drastically, starting life frequently derided for missing promised features, slowly morphing into what it is now. The game now has a massive mish mash of features that have kept people coming back year after year, and according to Hello Games co-founder Sean Murray, he could keep going as long as they do.

Hello! I feel surprisingly emotional today. Ten years ago, on 9th August 2016, Travellers across the universe set foot on their first alien planet in No Man’s Sky. Perhaps you were there ten years ago, or maybe you joined later. It’s very cool to me that all around the universe, other Travellers have woken up on countless other planets, light years apart from each other. They took their first steps on their first planet and brought a new unexplored universe into existence together. Since then millions of players have made No Man’s Sky their home, created insane bases, built communities, made f

No Man's Sky has changed an awful lot in the 10 years since its launch. Hello Games' space sandbox has received a few dozen major free updates that have added features like base-building, spaceship construction, multiplayer missions, companions, mechs, and even its own version of the Death Star...

Who says you need a mouth-breathing psychopath in black armor and a gross, pale old ghoul in a hood to have a Death Star? No Man's Sky continues its seemingly endless parade of free updates today with The Swarm, which introduces a new threat to the universe: a massive space station called the Hive of Glass that controls an army of angry drones...

Blimey, Hello Games sure are building up No Man's Sky into a game that just has a bit of everything aren't they? The Swarm Update has warped in. Read the full article here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/05/fight-off-deadly-swarms-and-a-big-space-hive-in-the-latest-no-mans-sky-update/

Hello,No Man’s Sky turns 10 in August and we feel very lucky that we still get the chance to work on it every day. What we love about sci-fi, and about No Man’s Sky, is that it can be a canvas for so many ideas. Our last update, Xeno Arena, introduced Pokemon-style pet battling, which players have put a ton of hours into, but takes place on just a small table… our next update is something much larger. Full patch notes can be found here.Something new, huge and foreboding is hanging in the sky above planets. Unlike anything we've seen before.Players are going to need a combined community effort

It's hard to think that No Man's Sky is nearly ten years old. I remember being there in the glorious summer of 2016. Pokémon GO was all the rage, but I was even more excited for Hello Games' space game to drop. As we know, it was an underwhelming launch, and so would begin one of the best comeback stories in modern gaming. No longer the bland, isolated experience of yesteryear, No Man's Sky is now one of the genre's heaviest hitters. What better way is there to celebrate that than by pulling us all together and having us face off against a giant drone armada? Read the full story on PCGamesN: N
