No Man’s Sky is seeing its biggest month in years amid Starfield’s success
Starfield’s success might be making headlines lately, but another space game also seems to be reaping the benefits of Bethesda’s much-anticipated sci-fi epic: No Man’s Sky.
No Man's Sky News
Starfield hasn’t hurt No Man’s Sky’s popularity – it may have even helped it

No Man's Sky has been one of the best examples of a video redemption story, and developer Hello Games never stopped expanding the game with new content, and more features. Just recently, the procedural space adventure celebrated its seventh anniversary with the Echoes update, and it doesn't look like there's an end in sight to this support.
But do these updates bring back players? The answer is an emphatic yes! Hello Games founder, Sean Murray, recently revealed that No Man's Sky is having "its biggest month in the last few years." Interestingly, this is happening across all platforms where No Man's Sky is available - so PC, consoles, Mac, and even VR.

No Man's Sky is enjoying its 'biggest month in the last few years', coinciding with the launch of Starfield
No Man's Sky has been spitting out cosmic adventures for seven years and, despite not meeting expectations at launch, has evolved into an incredibly varied sandbox thanks to Hello Games' fantastic post-launch support. With free, expansion-sized updates coming out every year, it keeps beckoning players back...

Expedition 11 - Voyagers - Now Live!
Hello Everyone!
One week ago, we released ECHOES, our largest update of 2023. The team has put a lot of love into this release, and the community response has been incredible – it has been so exciting to see players meeting the Autophage, building their own Voltaic Staff, engaging in space combat with the new outlaw Dreadnought ships, and utilising the Wonder Projector in entertaining and unexpected ways!
Today, we are launching Voyagers, our eleventh community expedition for No Man’s Sky. Voyagers is a relaxing journey of exploration, encouraging Travellers to seek out remarkable worlds, reach planetary summits and oceanbeds, and catalogue their findings.
Travellers will begin the expedition aboard their freighter in the Oishida system, ready to deploy their ship into space. Plot a route through the stars to discover exotic creatures, venture to extreme worlds, excavate ancient treasures, dive through a black hole, and much more!
After completing Voyagers, or when the expedition concludes, you will have the option to convert your progress to a Normal Mode save.
The exclusive rewards detailed below are registered at the Space Anomaly’s Quicksilver Synthesis Companion, and any earnt rewards may be redeemed across all save games.
The Voyagers expedition begins today, and will run for approximately two months.
[h2]Voyagers Rewards[/h2]
[h3]Electric Jetpack Trail[/h3]
An exclusive Exosuit Appearance Override for the Jetpack. Humidifiers discharge a highly salinated mist from the rocket nozzles, conducting a dramatic streak of electricity during Jetpack operation.
[h3]Voyage-Themed Posters[/h3]
Adorn your base with these Navigators, Anomalous Wonder and Open Horizons posters – celebrating those who push at the boundaries of reality, those in search of the next unknown sky, and the sheer anomaly of existence…
[h3]Mechanical Paw[/h3]
An exclusive Companion Appearance Enhancement. This biomechanical remnant is a constant reminder of the many and diverse forms that existence can take.
[h3]Construct Base Ornaments[/h3]
This set of exclusive buildable base ornaments includes a makeshift planetary shelter, a detailed replica of an Autophage facial cage, and a partially assembled robotic hand. Please note that the units contain no trace of Autophage entity inhabitation…
[h3]HoverDroid Companion[/h3]
This Robotic Spawn Capsule will hatch a mechanical HoverDroid companion. A low hum resonates from deep within the capsule, its dissonant frequency turning the air around it a faint purple.
Thank you for playing Voyagers, and we look forward to sharing more news with you soon.
Our journey continues.

7 years after launch, No Man's Sky adds its first new race in its biggest update of the year
Two years before Starfield was announced, the sprawling sci-fi epic No Man's Sky launched to a decidedly mixed reaction: It really wasn't quite what was promised by the pre-release hype. Seven years later, Starfield is just a week away from release, and No Man's Sky has evolved into a genuine hit, and has now dropped yet another major update, Echoes, that adds an all-new race of robots to the game with "rich new story content" for players to explore...
