There are few video games that have a better redemption arc than No Man’s Sky. The title was released in the summer of 2016 receiving a huge amount of criticism, both from the specialized press and from gamers. There was unanimity that the proposal was scarce and far from what had been promised in previous events, but the development studio, instead of giving up for lost its creation, got down to work to get to have the game that is today: a true wonder that now comes to virtual reality.
The 4.1 update, which is available today for all players, is called Fractal. Among all the new features it incorporates, the most important is that it includes support for virtual reality, specifically for the PlayStation VR2, which was launched just a few hours ago on the market. And the best part? The update is totally free, that is, you don’t have to pay to enjoy virtual reality (a great detail).
In addition to VR2 compatibility, this update also includes a new spaceship, an additional expedition, purely aesthetic customization elements and gameplay modifications. Regarding the latter, there are now new graphic filters to achieve a greater drawing distance, better textures or even greater density of vegetation on screen (more abundant foliage, for example).
In this particular sense, all these additions are available for all versions of the game itself, so it doesn’t matter if you are playing it on PC or Xbox, for example, since you will have them. Of course, virtual reality is Sony’s exclusive territory in the patch; it should be noted that it does not even come out on “all” PlayStation consoles, but only on PS5.
