No Man's Sky Updated Xbox One Cover Art Teases Full Multiplayer

No Man's Sky might get a second life later this year with the launch of the Xbox One version of the game. After initially failing to meet the hype and lacking any functional multiplayer mode, the developers tried to implement a quick fix for multiplayer but there was never any proper co-op support for the game.

[gangsta_red]

Lmao! Hopefully it's not a mistake and will need stickers to cover the box art.

[salmonade]

The game is not as bad as people are making it out to be. Now you've actually got a story to follow and base building. I spent around 40 hours in this game. Honestly I rate it a 7/10. It can be fun and there are amazing moments to witness. I've never played anything like it before and I'm glad I did play it. Maybe they'll have a demo or something

[shinoff2183]

I enjoyed ut. There was tons to explore

[shadowraiden]

yes now there is those things. on launch it was as barren as you could get with a game. only thing that held it together was the procedural generated worlds.

it had no building or real story to follow other than you must go to the centre.

you then also get the fact that they flat out lied about what you could do with the game on launch, they stated there would be multiplayer,building etc all on LAUNCH.#

if they had explained what it was at the start and then come out and said we have plans to add all these features as free dlc so people can keep coming back then the outrage wouldnt of existed instead they lied and then disapeared for months with no response to the outcry from those who had bought the game.

[bluefox755]

I agree. And hey, at least it's better than Sea of Thieves.

[narsaku]

@Shinoff2183

No there wasn't.

[-Foxtrot]

Yeah but despite the updates the core game which game out was shit

You could improve any game with updates but the issue was what we were promised and what we actually got was a huge let down.

[uth11]

@shadow - they never promised building before launch. in fact, when they added base building, it was a surprise to many people because they seemed to be against the idea before.

[Wotbot]

Same can be said about sea of theives.

[darthv72]

the game releases on july 24th

[IamTylerDurden1]

The game actually has rudimentary mp in it right now. I wouldn't be surprised if the next big update adds full on mp. That's great. I know people criticised NMS for being incomplete at launch but you can't deny that they have added alot of content, especially for a 10 mean team. Now Xbox is going through this with Sea of Thieves, hopefully the 100-200 man team at Rare with Microsoft's back can outdo the 10 man indie at Hello Games.

[WilliamSheridan]

Give them the Sony funding and several years and we will see...

[coolbeans]

This site has unceremoniously made dev count comparisons the next insufferable thing so thanks for that.

[TheSaint]

Holding a grudge for this long is not healthy.

[gangsta_red]

You holding this L is even worse.

[Nybz]

You actually made a funny joke and in typical N4G fashion you got more down votes. Screw this system.

[gangsta_red]

The art of comedy is lost on some people.

[TheSaint]

Clearly it wasn't that funny...

[joab777]

Love this game but I really hope that this isn’t a mistake. Needs a good launch.

[DigitalRaptor]

That is some cool art, but I still think the previous cover art they showed is better:

https://c-6rtwjumjzx7877x24...

Looking forward to the NEXT update coming this summer. Will be interesting to see where they take it.

[deckardreplicant]

The Previous art is not showing multiple characters though

[andybock]

Can't wait for the update on PS4.glad Xbox gamers can enjoy this game finally.

[DarkVoyager]

Yea I’m sure Xbox gamers are dying to play a game they trash talked left and right.

[twiggytree12]

They'll love it now that it's on their system.

[FullmetalRoyale]

Some people just play games.

[agnosticgamer]

Wasnt just Xbox gamers trashing this game... But id be glad if it makes a rebound... and always nice to see 3rd party games go multiplatform...

[NatFanBoyRestricted]

Nowadays there's allot of people that don't like this game, but after hearing about the updates since release and maybe actual multiplayer getting added, I'm sure most people across multiple platforms will enjoy this game. We'll just wait for it to go on sale most likely and at least the initial hype and lies/false advertising won't be the driving force to getting people to purchase it. Guess thanks for beta testing it.

[narsaku]

You must really fkn hate Xbox gamers man

[Dragonscale]

Why? He's correct, xbone fans trashed this game to death. Some of the hate was merited but some of it was due to it being PS4 exclusive. When it got average reviews the fanatx were shouting from the rooftops, the hatred for nms was almost unparalleled tbh. Wonder how many of those haters are gonna buy this now its on xbone lol.

[EpicFruityPie]

Yawn fixes came too late for many gamers I have moved on to other things

[moomoo319]

Buying that game at launch was a painful burn lol. Cool at first but so underwhelming

[narsaku]

Cool for the first 20 minutes. And even then I was trying to lie to myself saying it was better than it wasn't 5 minutes into the game.

[deckardreplicant]

Sure they missed but they created something that was never done before. It was an indie game but marketing was done as it was an AAA and thus came the disappointment. If The Marketing was not overdone and the hype would also be lowered down then I am pretty sure that same critic who gave this game 4 or 5 they would have given at 8 or even 9 because then it would be shown and played as an Indie game in mind.

14 people made this game. 14...

[EpicFruityPie]

I do agree I mean what did they make before this a mobile game? it is impressive just hope they learn from overhyping and false promises don't be another EA

[Xavi4K]

Wel if its enhanced on thr X I may pick it up otherwise nah I will stuck to my lonely experiance with Ps4 version

[Razmiran]

The ps4 version will be updated too if you want to try whatever multiplayer they add

[MAULxx]

There's actually a pretty cool community of PS4 players for NMS & welcoming XB1 players. Just look up CobraTV on youtube.

[narsaku]

You can't raise the graphics on a horrible game to make it better.

[Xavi4K]

To everyone thinking I'm trolling I'm not...I'm aware that the game will have multiplayer in all platforms. I got the game as soon as it come to Ps4 becasue I loved the concept of it and even though there wasn't much to do there I spent around 50 hour exploring around. Yet, having multiplayer will probably mean that I will do the same thing again but with a friend so unless Its enhanced with better FPS I may pick it up on the X otherwise having multiplayer for NMS is not a selling point for me unless there are special Co-op missions that would be another story.

[ILostMyMind]

I hope this game is successful at some point in its history. A proper multiplayer mechanic is much required and welcome. And they should implement some kind of mode tools too. Nothing can compete with gamers imagination.

[Razmiran]

Wasnt it succesful tho? I mean it did sell well regardless of opinion

[NatFanBoyRestricted]

It was also probably the most refunded game on Steam.

[Razmiran]

I was thinking more about ps4 sales

[Hungryalpaca]

Sony has to refund on ps4 as well

[Razmiran]

Have you ever tried to refund a psn game? If you ever opened it its pretty much impossible

[IamTylerDurden1]

It's funny how people still think mp was "promised" originally. They are adding full mp because of public outcry but the game was always a sp-centric experience.

[jerethdagryphon]

Please no open pvp

[NatFanBoyRestricted]

PVP is what can keep a game alive. That was almost the back bone for Elite Dangerous on xbox. It'll be nice if they can separate the instance though like ED.

[jerethdagryphon]

Maybe but i dont like the idea of people waiting outside stations to kill you. It depends on how things are handled

[Minute Man 721]

My son wanted this game to be multiplayer, hopefully it is so we can play together

[NeptuneGames]

In the background I also see a planet with rings ... better late than never, dear Sean :D.!!!!

[PhantomS42]

How many times do they promise multiplayer? At launch, they got caught in the lie that it wasn't. Then they "added" it in except once again it was a ruse and the other player was just a light ball. No Man's Sky was a massive flop and the developers are liars.

[Goldby]

Hmm that's odd it seems you contradicted yourself with the fact you said other player is a light ball.

Other player = mp

[PhantomS42]

wasn't a physical person as promised though.

[Goldby]

Nope, because that would defy what a videogame can do

[attilayavuzer]

@Phantom also that was never promised

[salmonade]

It didn't flop though. It sold heaps. They just pissed everyone off and burned a whole bunch of bridges. The game is much better now though.

[mastershredder]

Hipster bait and switchers and the lost universe.

This game plays and feels older than my PS2 Library why anyone would want to experience this huge boring and empty universe is mind numbing. They must like suffering.

If they never do another game again, they would be doing the world a favor.

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

Shout out to all the PS4 owners for beta testing this game first

[Razmiran]

This could be said for so many games on both systems

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

You are correct. I made the same statement a few days ago about sea of thieves

[twiggytree12]

With Xbox not having exclusives anymore, and Sea of Theives, PUBG and State of Decay 2 in full beta testing mode. The least PS4 and PC players could do is make sure this one was 100% polished up for you guys, give ya'll an experience you're not use to! Enjoy!

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

I own all consoles so I couldn’t careless. I’m just looking to see how many ps4 owners have a sense of humor lol

[NatFanBoyRestricted]

Already got NMS on pc. Couple buddies already sold off their PS4 from when NMS released. We've been enjoying Elite Dangerous the whole time while the money making was easy. Hope PS4 are still enjoying ED.

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

Thanks I’m sure Xbox owners appreciate it

[twiggytree12]

"I own all consoles so I couldn’t careless. I’m just looking to see how many ps4 owners have a sense of humor lol"

So? I got them all too. There isn't nothing wrong with criticizing, but what you're doing is just straight trolling.
Not to mention the "Shout out to all the PS4 owners" part of your comment. Are you shouting out to yourself? There's some humor going on here alright, you're one strange creature lol.

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

Yes I’m trollling also know as kidding, joking around, having a good time. Maybe you forgot that’s what gaming is supposed to be about. And I didn’t buy NMS so I couldn’t possibly be shouting out myself unless you assume every ps owner bought NMS. Clearly I’m referring to those that did

[twiggytree12]

"And I didn’t buy NMS so I couldn’t possibly be shouting out myself unless you assume every ps owner bought NMS. Clearly I’m referring to those that did"

Yet here you are thanking people as if you're about to happily make your purchase. PC players got the game at the same time, yet you single out PS4. hmm wonder why. ..

And no, trolling is not know as having fun and shouldn't be a part of gaming, it's a load of crap.

[franwex]

He singled out PS4 players because they have this craziness to them. Specially on this site, and specially on Xbox articles. And if there’s an article related to PS4, they mention how it’s much better than Xbox.
Actually, I think PS4 players are obsessed with Xbox.

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

Because this is a article about consoles not PC and I don’t play on PC so I don’t even acknowledge PC gaming tbh. You don’t have to wonder anything I clearly stated above why I posted what I did.

[Goldby]

not gonna lie BLK,

i chuckled at that, i know i have said that in the past

[twiggytree12]

"Because this is a article about consoles not PC"

PC is tagged for this article, and all these changes are for all versions of the game. Wrong again BLK....

[Razmiran]

I remember disliking this game so much when I bought it. I blamed hellogames for their lies.
Some time later I realized that I dont really like this type of games and the fault was all mine, I only bought it out of pure hype.
Moral of the story is: Dont be an idiot like me

[BrettAwesome]

This game has become so much better since launch

[narsaku]

One of the worst games I've ever played.

Tetris was factually more enjoyable for me than NMS. By a LONG SHOT.

[narsaku]

And I got it on a blowout sale.

[Liqu1d]

You say that like Tetris is bad. Tetris is a classic.

[Master of Unlocking]

FFS if they somehow implement a fully functional multiplayer mode in their game for the release on the Xbox One, they better also patch it in the PS4 version!

[Goldby]

iot will be, thats the next update

[spambot0815]

when do they relaunch it for xbox?

[kevnb]

do they honestly think anybody will buy this on xbox one? Game sales are often poor on this platform even if they have a good rep..

[Liqu1d]

People bought Sea of Thieves so...

[kevnb]

here's the thing, sea of thieves didn't have the reputation of being a complete joke of a game where everything the devs say is a lie. there is nothing they can do to convince people no mans sky isnt still a joke. So what is your point exactly?

[RadicalCannibal]

Eh heheheheeeeee

[Father__Merrin]

NMS is an excellent game brilliant gameplay along with amazing visuals. the only thing i dont like is when you get attacked when in orbit and running out of boosts etc to get off planets that should be infinite

[one2thr]

You can buy stacks of 1000x plutonium from market hubs, trading post, npc's.

Depending on how you mod your multitool, you can get more plutonium per second, and some flora has plutonium as a secondary property.

[PS3_Noob]

RIP SOT

[HeyNowChillax]

Did about 30 hours & had an excellent time. NMS is a game is like no other but you have to dig (mine) the exploration and chill of it all. It;s not for everyone. I was pretty impressed they managed to acheive 60fps on the Pro via patch, PS4 will likely see the same coop patch if it is coming, they've been tight lipped about it. Perhaps they learned a lesson? The X1X should be running this at 60fps likely around 1440p, which would be awesome, true coop would reset my gametime on this one.

[uth11]

they have been very tight lipped on every update since launch. they announce the new features a day before it goes live.

so yeah they have learned to not say too much and then overdeliver

[kevnb]

is it 60 fps solid on the pro?

[Father__Merrin]

I wouldn't say it's solid 60 it dips in and out but plays pretty smooth Tbh in all reality it should be locked to 60 imo

[m2stech]

more lies ?

[quenomamen]

I smell a battleroyal mode.

[Razmiran]

You have to hunt down players across a whateverillion planets

[Mulando]

Lol multiplayer.... After all that time.

[gigoran]

Stop it now. This is where you all made your problems before. You’re imagining features that are not announced. You all just won’t be happy till you kick this game to death
