No Man's Sky dev reflects on the new Very Positive rating on Steam and promises that this is only the beginning: 'We aren't even close to being finished yet'

Earlier this week, No Man's Sky finally managed to reach a very positive rating on Steam. It only took eight years and a ridiculous amount of effort to get there, but it turns out that even after this great milestone, the developers aren't planning to end development anytime soon...

Feeling "VERY POSITIVE"

Hello Folks!

Last night we finally did it! After eight years, we crossed the 80% positive review threshold on Steam to earn a "Very Positive" badge on "ALL REVIEWS". Honestly, I didn't think we'd ever do this, and it's all thanks to you all in the community. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

We have nearly quarter of a million reviews, so mathematically it's pretty hard to change the % that are positive! For every 10,000 players, maybe 100 review the game. If 80% of those reviews are positive, the first 79 don't change our %, only that 80th person makes a difference! Ten thousands players, resulting in a single extra positive, dropped into an ocean of quarter of a million existing reviews! It gets geometrically harder the higher you climb too - so moving from 70% to 71% took us a month, but moving from 79% to 80% took nearly a year! We figured it might never happen - but it has and it genuinely means so much to us.

This year has been particularly busy for our tiny team, with the launch of four major updates: Omega, Orbital, Aquarius and the mammoth Worlds Part I. Most recently we have introduced cross-save to enable players across a huge number of platforms to bring their progress to other devices.

We have also run five large expeditions throughout the year, each one packed with unique challenges and exclusive rewards. If you missed out on any of these, we just started a re-run of these over the holidays.

No Man's Sky is absolutely our Labor of Love and it would mean the world to us if you've enjoyed any of our work throughout the years, you could pop an "x" in our box.

Oh, and maybe consider wishlisting our next game, Light No Fire, while you're at it!

Our journey continues.

'Holy s**t you guys—it happened': 8 years after a terrible launch, No Man's Sky has reached a Very Positive rating on Steam

Cyberpunk 2077 is often held up as the greatest redemption arc in videogame history, but I think No Man's Sky has a legitimate claim on the crown too. More than eight years after it landed with an ugly thud on Steam—a "supernova of negative backlash and disappointment," as we put it at the time—Hello Games' sci-fi exploration epic has clawed its way up to a "very positive" rating on Steam...

After eight long years, No Man's Sky Steam reviews are finally great

Tuesday, August 9, 2016. After months of hype, Hello Games' hugely ambitious space adventure No Man's Sky is finally released. And it's a letdown. It's not what anyone hoped it would be. In the past, this would be the entirety of the story. But in the modern gaming world, the end of development is just the beginning. Between updates, overhauls, new versions, patches, and a gradual expansion of the original vision, in eight years, No Man's Sky has finally become the game of which its creators and its players dreamed. Its success is reflected in various metrics, but now, NMS can lay claim to that most coveted of PC gaming status symbols: 'very positive' Steam reviews.
