Hello Games just released a trailer for No Man’s Sky Beyond, which brings incredible VR tech to the massive open-world game. Although we were already burned once, we can’t help but feel hyped from this trailer:
No Man’s Sky Beyond is set to launch on Aug. 14. It will be available for Xbox, PlayStation, PlayStation VR, Steam VR, and PC. This is the biggest update to No Man’s Sky since the game’s initial release.
Back in 2016, gamers everywhere were hyped for No Man’s Sky. It promised to be one of the biggest open-world games ever created if not THE biggest.
Unfortunately, our tears of joy rapidly turned into tears of sorrow once we actually started playing the game.
No Man’s Sky was a giant open-world experience, but all of the planets we were able to visit just felt like more and more of the same. Basically, each planet was not entirely unique; they were basically the same few looped over and over again.
Despite its checkered past, No Man’s Sky Beyond sold us with just two letters: VR. No Man’s Sky Beyond is the type of game that seems like it was always meant to be in VR. Traveling the galaxy in our spaceship as we hop from planet to planet could be an endlessly fun experience in VR.
Along with playing in beautiful VR, you will be able to explore the cosmos with up to 32 players at once!
All of the empty, barren planets that butchered our hype now look lush and full of life.

Should I finally buy No Man’s Sky now?
As much as we want to say, “YES, GO BUY THE GAME RIGHT NOW! IT LOOKS AMAZING!” we would recommend waiting to hear reviews first. Yeah, it looks like fun and it looks like it would be next to impossible to screw up. However, we thought the same thing back in 2016.
We are going to hope for the best, but Hello Games already broke our hearts once. We aren’t about to just let them do that again.
