Hello Games has officially released the latest update for No Man’s Sky, simply titled Omega. The update includes new items, features, limited free-to-play, and more.
Hello Games initially released No Man’s Sky for the PlayStation 4 in August 2016. Critics and fans alike panned the game at launch, due to its broken state and numerous promises from the developers that were never delivered. However, in the almost eight years since its launch, Hello Games has turned the game around. They’ve added several features, released it on other consoles, and have overall delivered the experience that people were hoping for eight years ago. Omega is the latest attempt to continue updating the now-beloved game.
