It's been 7 years since Hello Games' No Man's Sky first launched back in 2016 for the PlayStation 4. Can you believe it?
Despite the mixed reception at launch, the first-person space exploration title received a number of updates and expansions over the ensuing years, substantially improving No Man's Sky's reputation amongst fans. Finally, in October 2022, the game launched on the Nintendo Switch, and it was a pretty darn good port, too.
To celebrate, Hello Games has released a new video celebrating the game's 7th anniversary, looking back on all the major updates released over the course of its life (including some rather grating fan reaction noise in the background).
At the end of the video, however, it also provides a short tease on what's next for No Man's Sky, with the word 'ECHOES' materialising on-screen like the opening credits of an 'Alien' movie. That's really all we have to go on right now, but Hello Games promises that more information will be available very soon.
Are you still playing No Man's Sky? What are your thoughts on the experience so far? Let us know with a comment.

Maybe they'll add abandoned ships with aliens hunting you down, so you need to escape or hide? Alien isolation style 😂
Forgot about this game, i was hoping they would add online for switch also. Maybe will get this game for pc.
Makes me wonder if they've fixed the crashing that came with the Interceptor update?
I already despise fan reaction videos, but putting "fan reactions" in your Anniversary video is probably the worst thing I ever had to listen to...
Anyway, No Man's Sky, from what I hear and see it's a pretty good game. Sadly I have started playing to game too late. With so much content nowadays I find it really hard to get into.
@Magician they have, since the last update. My old save was stuck in a permanent crash loop but is now playable again
@Manxman64 is it actually, stopped playing it due to this. had to move my freighter to a different star system to carry on, but can't play fully without the freighter. might have to get back into this if thats the case
@SwagaliciousJohnson the amount of content doesn't bog the game down in any way. they're all added but you don't really notice that they're there, you just play however you want to play
@Magician yes and no. Switch version still gets updated and it did get patches specifically for that update, but atm it’s not completely fixed and you can still crash sometimes
Can't wait for the update. I love that game.
One day I will clear enough backlog to give this game a fair shake. Played for about a month on gamepass and had to walk away. Still impressed by the content though. Especially since the game still allows you to play alone. I think I got stranded on a planet though. Does the main story ever resolve itself?
I been lost in space here for some time....need to revisit but I can't seem to find the mother ship when looking for it.
This is one of the best Switch games. Easily in the top 20's.
I love the game to the point I'm kind of obsessed. But I have 2 game saves that are still unplayable because of the crash on load. I loved playing my first expedition Singularity, though I couldn't get it to show up playable the first week. I still fear a fatal crash since it almost happened again recently. But love the game and excited for what's next.
Have they ever fixed the absolutely horrible mech controls?
@SwagaliciousJohnson
I agree, I instantly muted the video when hearing fans scream. Don't include that in marketing videos, nobody should be forced to listen to that.
It’ll be an update to try and compete with starfield. These guys have more experience than Bethesda so I’m sure their version would be better if that’s what this is.
Nintendo has to start 'beefing' up the graphics and visuals from now on, imagine what they could do if they did.
