Nvidia's DLSS tech is now available in VR, including No Man's Sky

VR fans with Nvidia RTX graphics cards can now enjoy the benefits of Nvidia's performance-boosting DLSS tech in some of today's best VR games, thanks to a swathe of new features included in today's GeForce Game Ready driver update. No Man's Sky, mechanic simulator Wrench and survival shooter Into The Radius are the first three VR games to support DLSS, with Nvidia claiming you'll be able to get double the performance in No Man's Sky on Ultra settings to help you maintain a smooth 90fps on an Oculus Quest 2 with an RTX 3080.

Last month, space exploration craft 'em up No Man's Sky launched its new "expeditions" game mode. Expeditions are limited time adventures though, so the first one has come to a close and the second one, called Beachhead, has launched today. I've definitely not landed on a beach though. This second expedition has stranded me, and everyone else, a long and frozen walk away from our ships. This should get interesting.

No Man's Sky players are embarking on the space game's second seasonal 'expedition'. The shared experience system first launched in April with the Pioneers Expedition, and today sees the start of the Beachhead Expedition, which developer Hello Games says is "a journey with a very different pace and structure" to the first.

"We are very excited to explore the gameplay and stories that this new mode gives us the chance to create," the developers write in an update post. "Once again, players will start from a new save and all on the same planet." From there, No Man's Sky pilots will follow a guided plot that takes them through a new batch of story content, challenges, and rewards.

"Alongside the new Expedition, Nada and Polo's regular research effort aboard the Space Anomaly has shifted into a new gear," Hello Games hints mysteriously. "Priest Entity Nada has detected something thought impossible: a fluctuation in history already written. A new pattern is emerging in the stories of the ancient Gek, Korvax, and Vy'keen."

No Man's Sky's new Expeditions mode adds seasonal challenges

As it does, No Man's Sky has expanded its universe with a biggo new update. This time, it's beefed up with a brand new game mode called Expeditions. A bit like a seasonal event, Expeditions give players a bunch of time-limited goals and set them off along the same path together. They seem like they'll channel the energy of some massive community scavenger hunt, everyone knocking around close to one another as they zip from goal to goal, which actually sounds like good fun. The first Expedition has just kicked off and is set to run for two months.
