No Man's Sky Gets Actual Multiplayer Next Week | Gaming
If you’ve wondered what No Man’s Sky would have been like as a shared, multiplayer experience, next week is your chance to find out.
Hello Games is releasing No Man’s Sky NEXT across all platforms on July 24, allowing players to either explore with random players or “a small team of friends”. The official post doesn’t outline exactly how many people you can explore the galaxy with at once, although the trailer below shows instances of at least four players on screen at once.
Here’s a list of features that will be included with the NEXT patch, which is free for all users:
