We also have our full impressions available for No Man’s Sky Beyond from our resident fan of the game. Spoilers: we loved it.
Beyond is the game’s largest expansion, introducing a ton visual improvements, the ability to sit in chairs, and of course, the long awaited implementation of VR. The VR mode is astounding, allowing you to play the full game in virtual reality, with no limits. This isn’t a separate VR mode or a slimmed down version. The whole game can be experienced from inside a VR headset. Beyond is available as a free download to anyone who owns the base game, but it wasn’t the first, and it won’t be the last.
Hello Games has committed to continue support on No Man’s Sky to ensure the best experience possible for its player base. Remember, you can submit a ticket with any issues you’re experiencing to Hello Games and hopefully the team will fix it in a future update.
