Hello Games put up another update page today but this one is unlike most of their previous updates. This update is all about the next-gen experience players will have when they make the leap to the PlayStation 5. As with most other updates for the game, this one will be free. If you are on the PC playing the game, the update will also include some fancy new improvements for you as well. These improvements include visual improvements and support for 32-player multiplayer.
This is the 3.10 update and includes a new trailer on what next-gen players can expect to see.
Update 3.10 brings a graphically enhanced and smoother No Man’s Sky to the next generation of consoles. All enhancements are available to PC players.
Continue your journey in a universe with bigger bases, lusher planets, more players, faster warp speeds and more – free for all existing players.
FULLER WORLDS
Wander across lusher, denser alien environments than ever before. Planetary terrain is populated with thicker grasses, flowers, fungi and rocks, rendered with higher resolution textures and more detailed geometry.
These improvements are available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and all PC players who run on Ultra settings.(...)
