Following the Worlds Part II release, Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky has revealed its latest update for the survival action-adventure title. The 2016 game was met with mixed reviews after its launch, but the game has since continued to improve and expand into the original vision crafted by founder Sean Murray. No Man’s Sky saw its last major update in October 2024 with The Cursed update. With the launch of Worlds Part II, the multiplayer open-world title is fixing multiple visual issues and crash-specific problems.
