Hello Games released a new trailer today revealing the first look at multiplayer gameplay in No Man’s Sky. The new mode will be added to the limitless procedural universe across all platforms next week via the No Man’s Sky NEXT update, coinciding with the game’s launch on Xbox One on July 27th, in a publishing partnership with 505 Games for physical retail. With this launch, players will be able to explore, fight and survive with friends as they voyage across the vast celestial sandbox. Catch a glimpse of all the all-new experience here.
In its new multiplayer mode, players will be able to team up with a small group of friends to explore the universe together, or joined with random travellers online. Players can help friends stay alive, or prey on others to survive. Players will also be able to build shelter or complex colonies together to share with your team, fight as a pirate or a wingman in epic space battles with friends and enemies and race exocraft across weird alien terrains, creating race tracks and trails to share online.
No Man’s Sky NEXT update also comes with the following features:
Extensive Visual Overhaul:
- Play in third or first person, both on-foot and in ship
- Gaze on planetary rings and improved space visuals that make space more beautiful than ever
- Explore dramatically improved planetary terrain generation, ground textures, water and clouds that bring the environment to life
- Enjoy significantly more detail added to ships, NPCs and buildings
Unlimited Base Building:
- Build bases anywhere on any planet, with hundreds of new base parts added to the game
- Create bigger and better bases than ever before, with dramatically increased base building complexity and size limits
- Architect and own multiple bases
Command Freighters:
- Assemble and upgrade a fleet of frigates and command them from the bridge of your freighter
- Send your fleet out to into the universe or deploy them to help you as you explore a specific system
- Build a truly custom capital ship with improved freighter base building
- Invite your friends aboard and take on challenging multiplayer missions from the Galactic Commision Station on your bridge

If only they released this in early access instead of a 60 release
One of the bots copied your comment. You have multiplied. You are no longer special and unique. 🙁
happens all the time man. But why on earth it was upvoted and not mine. Weird.

i’d get this if they gave players weapons and horror missions in abandoned space stations.
The only horrific part about that would be the crappy combat.
why?there is combat in this game already?i remember it being a mining simulator.
Now this is the “no man’s sky” people wanted
Say what you will about this studio, they absolutely deserve it, but credit where credit is due for continually working to fix the game.
I have been saying this for over a year. They are adding stuff to it, for free.
They’re clawing back my respect. The game is almost to a point that I want to try it now. Maybe after the update…
But, if they ever pull this crap again…
Nice cloud tech and nice going in general, continuing to work on the game to give the people what they wanted. This doesn’t excuse lying about features the game was supposed to have at launch, but it definitely proves that the developers were (and are) passionate about creating that game they pretended the already had made. Passionate enough to actually go and make it after all and, if I understood correctly, to release it as a free update. Well done.
