I wouldn’t recommend No Man’s Sky if you don’t like getting lost – but for those of you who do, wander away. The problem? No Man’s Sky is not in VR. The fact that the game was made by a small team and works at all is mindblowing. We pointed out five reasons that it made ideal sense for VR support, despite not featuring any. It’s going to be a long trip, and we’ll all surely arrive changed from what we were when we began, but it’s time to take to the sky.

No Man’s Sky has been the center of much discussion this week, finally launching on PlayStation 4 after a handful of disappointing delays.
If you’re feeling a little more aggressive, you can also just destroy and rob other ships.
Climbing into your ship, for example, sees the player swiftly jump into the cockpit from any angle.
Once they accept your offer, you’ll be able to view a comparison of the two ships.
He’s also a well-known for being obsessed with space and the many wonders it might hold.
Whatever the backstory is, what this means to players is very clear – late in the development process, it was decided that advertising online play as a part of the game would be misleading. Again, this is something that should be pretty easily fixed. But if you are a PC user, then you have to wait for August 13, as the game is estimated be out for public on this date. Hats off to Hello Games, they’ve gone well out of their way to create plenty of distractions yet, when push comes to shove, No Man’s Sky slowly morphs into a space-themed Supermarket Sweep – sans Dale Winton, of course. Hello Games hasn’t spoken directly on the matter since the game’s release, but a 2014 interview with Game Informer seemingly reveals the secret.

If battles and destruction suits more to the player’s style then the “Fighter” is the “Starship” to choose. Originally I thought that this indicated the game was so big that two players wouldn’t ever really meet, but now I think that it doesn’t require PS Plus simply because the game doesn’t have any sort of multiplayer component at all, and players have been misled. If the developer could pull off some magic, perhaps with the help of Sony, it may just hit that goal. You and I could be standing in the exact some point in this sweeping galaxy of stars and, still, won’t be able to interact (or even see) with one another. The game’s reach and beauty can only take players so far.
