A lot of people are playing No Man’s Sky now after multiple stores sold it early, but the game that launches on August 9 will be a lot different than the one being played now.

The post gives a quick update on what steps the team has taken so far, with a patch to address the most pressing problems with the game set for release in the near future.
What’s far more exciting than our own very early stage feedback is that No Man’s Sky creator, Sean Murray, has said that in just 24 hours since release there have been more species discovered by players than exist in reality.
For those looking forward to getting out into the vast stretches of space and exploring huge new galaxies untouched by any other player on the PC version of No Man’s Sky, you’ll have to wait a little bit longer into your day tomorrow. The game has since been played by thousands of players around the world, and has received mixed reviews. He also reveals that No Man’s Sky’s servers will be wiped at some point today – and again on Monday – giving the universe a nice clean reboot for launch day. The narrative has also been expanded with three unique paths the player can follow. According to Murray, “early choices have significant impact on what you see later in the game, and the overall experience”.
The massive galaxy – we’re talking multiple quintillions of planets – is randomly generated as players explore it.
Murray’s post also lays out some of Hello’s road ahead for No Man’s Sky. Included are extensive overhauls to the player’s inventory, as well as the ship inventory. However, there have still been a few bugs with the game so far, including frame rate drops.
Atmosphere-space, night time and day skies are now 4x more varied due to new atmospheric system, which refracts light more accurately to allow for more intense sunsets. “Lots of new features, balancing and content”.
Playstation 4 players will be able to experience the fruits of Hello Games’ labors starting on Tuesday, August 9, while the PC release of No Man’s Sky was officially delayed to Friday, August 12.

While nations like United States and UK are enjoying the early release of the game, few countries like India are still waiting in line.
