Get ready to explore the universe from anywhere when No Man's Sky releases on Switch this October

Hello Games have announced that on October 7th, players will be able to take to exploring the galaxy, no matter where on the planet they happen to be, as No Man’s Sky will be launching on Switch on that day.

The game released way back in 2016 and since then has had 20 or so massive expansions added to the game, all for free, which has expanded the range of things you do, to insane levels and that is counting three updates this year.

The game is running natively on Switch, no cloud version here and it is making use of the consoles features, including touch screen when undocked. It will also receive all future updates that the game gets, alongside the other platforms.

Sean Murray, founder of Hello Games, a development team based in the United Kingdom, said “I think folks are going to be blown away when they finally get to play this game on such a tiny device. It really is an entire universe in the palm of your hand. It has been a huge undertaking, but a very rewarding one for our small team, and I’m really proud of the result.”
