No Man's Sky Beyond Update Brings Full Virtual Reality Support This Summer
Hello Games announces that No Man's Sky is receiving a complete virtual reality overhaul as part of its free Beyond update this summer. The immersive upgrade promises to make the procedurally generated space sim one of the most expansive VR experiences available.
No Man's Sky takes a massive leap into immersive gaming by adding full virtual reality support as part of its upcoming Beyond update. Developer Hello Games reveals that this is not a separate mode, but rather the entire existing game brought to life in VR for both PlayStation VR and Steam VR platforms this summer.
Players experience the vast, procedurally generated universe in a remarkably tactile way, using their hands to steer starships, reach into their inventory for tools, and wave to other space travelers. This deep VR integration pairs perfectly with the new No Man's Sky Online feature, which introduces a radical social and multiplayer experience to the once-isolated space simulation.
Because the studio delivers this expansive upgrade for free to millions of existing players, No Man's Sky easily becomes one of the most widely owned VR titles upon release. Fans still eagerly await one final mystery announcement for the Beyond update, which continues to transform the game far beyond its original launch expectations.
