Hello Games has secretly worked on a Nintendo Switch 2 version of No Man's Sky. But there's also a new juicy update that lets you be a mayor.
That's a nice little surprise.
Honestly I gotta hand it to Hello Games. They really turned this game into something else with their dedication to it. A rocky start, but the game is unrecognizable to what we had at launch.
2017: Wow, this game is finally worth it.
2018: Wow, this game is finally worth it.

MAN, Hello Games just keeps on trucking with this game, and are REALLY showing other developers how to earn some good will with their fans.

Sweet! I bought this last month on sale for Switch and transferred my PS5 save bc I fully expected this to happen! This will be a great game to have fully portable (at a more reasonable performance level than the Switch 1).
I have the PS5 version so I can play with my PSVR2, but I'm half tempted to pick up a Switch copy (for my Switch 2)
so that I can also play the game on the go and keep my save intact between both versions.
Exactly! I have this on Steam also, so i can play on PCVR. It's so nice being able to jump around to whatever platform we want with cross save now!
@OtterX - I guess I could also go the Steam route so I can use my PSVR2 on my PC and get a bit better performance from my computer than my Pro.. so many choices.. LOL
But of course they did. I bought it in 2016. Then I got every PS edition including the VR editions for free.
I don't have the time to play this kind of game on my PS5, but now I might play this on Switch 2.
Xenosaga Epstein 1. The greatest space Story and game of all time. Dead Space 1 comes in 3rd, right behind Alien Isolation 2nd.
Alien and Dead Space were great, but I’d call out Dead Space TWO for a handful of fantastic set pieces and encounters relating to SPACE.
No Colony Wars….
Am I the only one who remembers this series and how great it was?
