No Man’s Sky has had one of the most interesting routes taken since it was originally released. Of course, back in 2016, not many people were thrilled with what was delivered from Hello Games. However, this did not stop the devs from working hard to improve the game, bringing it back from the brink to a point where players are loving the experience. That said, its next big expansion, Beyond, finally has a release date, and it isn’t too far away.

“Beyond will contain three major updates rolled into one larger free release,” reads the game’s website. “These changes are a mix of features we’ve been dreaming of for a while, and a reaction to how we have seen folks playing since the release of NEXT. An expanded Online experience will bring a radical new social and multiplayer experience which empowers players everywhere in the universe to meet and play together.”

“Meanwhile VR support will bring the entire game experience to life in virtual reality,” the No Man’s Sky website continues. “Grab the joystick and thruster to fly your starship over an unexplored alien planet as you peer out of the cockpit at the view below. Reach into your backpack to grab your multitool, touch it to switch to terrain manipulation, and carve out intricate shapes with unprecedented control. Play in multiplayer and casually wave to your non-VR friends or fist bump your VR peers. Anything possible in No Man’s Sky, NEXT or any other update will soon be ready and waiting as an immersive and enriched VR experience.”

No Man’s Sky is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Beyond will be arriving on August 14th and will be free to all players. Keep it tuned to Don’t Feed the Gamers as this story develops, and for other gaming goodness going on right now, check out the following:
