No Man’s Sky is a widely beloved game featuring space exploration and colonization of other planets. Earlier this year, Nintendo Direct revealed that No Man’s Sky was coming to the Switch, but no official release date had been given just yet. However, it is now slated to release on October 7 of this year.

Hello Games, the creator behind No Man’s Sky, teamed up with Bandai Namco to bring the title to the Nintendo Switch. Founder Sean Murray observed that the Switch version “feels both completely natural and also totally improbable at the same time. This has been a real moonshot for our small team. No Man’s Sky is built around procedural generation, which means the console generates everything you see. This makes it so much harder to bring our game to something like the Switch, but I think this team never seems happier than when they are trying to do near-impossible things.”
“The PlayStation 5 physical version will include a remastered disc containing all 20 updates, and is a great place for people to jump into the game. This is the first time since the Beyond launch in 2019 that you could buy a copy of No Man’s Sky in the shops. The box of that version boasted “Contains All 7 major updates”. The fact that we are just about to hit our 20th free update is a reminder of how busy we’ve been in the last 3 years!”
Fans can pick up a digital or physical version on October 7, with PlayStation 5 players getting the ability to buy a physical remastered edition on the same date as well.
