Hello Games Teases No Man's Sky 'Cosmos' Update for 10th Anniversary

3 articles · Updated · UploadVR · Aug 10

Summary

  • A 10-year anniversary video for No Man's Sky ends by teasing a new update called "Cosmos," with studio head Sean Murray saying more details are coming soon.
  • Hello Games used the retrospective to highlight the game's long run of post-launch expansions, underscoring its turnaround from a widely criticized 2016 debut.
  • VR remains part of that support story: No Man's Sky added VR in 2019 and has kept updating it, including PS VR2 improvements such as eye-tracked dynamic foveated rendering and PS5 Pro PSSR support.
  • That sustained VR backing sets Hello Games apart from many big-budget peers, whose VR modes have often launched rough, stayed limited, or relied heavily on later fixes and mods.
