With the recent No Man’s Sky 6.0 Voyagers Update, the game’s player count has skyrocketed to its highest point in the past six years. But what is the main reason players are flocking back?
No Man’s Sky is Back
The hype is real. No Man’s Sky is back. The 39th free massive update included probably one of the most highly requested features long-time fans have been asking for. In the Voyagers Update, players can finally build and assemble habitable, multi-crew starships from hundreds of ship modules. These Corvette-class ships are likely the major reason why players are flocking back to No Man’s Sky
These new Corvettes are proving to be a shipbuilder’s paradise. With fully customizable interiors, including the ability to sport multiple sections, including sleeping quarters, medical bays, or whatever the player desires. Of course, this update brings more than just new ships.
This update also includes new multiplayer missions, a new, highly detailed player suit, a ship-building community expedition, and much more. The Voyagers Update is without a doubt one of, if not the most popular, updates to No Man’s Sky. Not only that, No Man’s Sky is currently 60% off on Steam until September 8th, making it the best time to dive in!
Will This Hype Spark Interest in Light No Fire?
New and returning players have over 9 years of content to dive through, and with this influx of players, will this urge help build interest in Hello Games’s upcoming title, Light No Fire? Hello Games co-founder Sean Murray said in a statement, along with the update’s announcement, that a lot of the technology that went into making the Voyagers update is also being used for Light No Fire. With both games being similar in scope and design, perhaps this is the boost Light No Fire needs.
Is the recent hype and sale enough for you to give No Man’s Sky a chance after it’s been around for about 9 years? If so, don’t miss out on the sale! In the meantime, keep an eye on our latest news for more updates.
