Hello!

We are excited to let Steam players know that our Next Generation update will allow PC players access to all graphical enhancements from day one.

By now many of you will have seen the announcement[www.nomanssky.com] that the latest in a long list of 2020 No Man’s Sky updates, Next Generation, will be released in a couple of weeks’ time along with the new console hardware from Sony and Microsoft.



While we appreciate that this update is, by definition, focussed towards our console community, we did want to highlight the benefits that the all-important PC audience will get from this update and into the future.

First of all, there are a number of benefits which will be available to those with high end PCs on November 10th.

Those with high end PCs will benefit from all-new ultra biomes. The universe will be lusher, richer and more densely populated universes than ever before. Planetary surfaces will be even more detailed, with thousands more rocks, alien grasses, and exotic flora on screen at any time (with your settings set to Ultra). Alien vistas will have improved shadows, greater draw distances, thousands more objects on screen and improved lighting and volumetric effects.



Secondly, Next Generation marks a moment in time where No Man’s Sky can start to build towards a future which is less restricted and full of possibilities. This is just another stepping stone.

The full Next Generation patch notes can be found here[www.nomanssky.com].

Our journey continues.
