Providing both new content and PlayStation VR2 support, Hello Games has released their Fractal update for the sci-fi exploration/survival game No Man’s Sky on all supported platforms. This update not only implements support for Sony’s new peripheral, but also seeks to provide a more enriching experience for all VR players, with improvements including 3D audio, an adaptative user interface and a simplified and interactive gameplay.
The update allows players to easily switch from VR to standard gameplay while staying on the same save. It also features a bunch of additional options on all platforms. Players can earn a new starship, the Utopia Seeder, and discover a new expedition “Utopia” which challenges players to work together and rebuild an abandoned solar system for the mysterious Utopia Foundation.
Players on the Nintendo Switch will also gain access to all the Nexus and Quicksilver missions, as well as the “Trace of Metal” story, which were already available on other platforms. Players on PlayStation, Steam Deck and Switch will also receive support for gyroscopic controls, seeking to make “exploring and scanning new discoveries more comfortable and precise than ever”.
No Man’s Sky is now available on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Windows PC.
