No Man's Sky has been through substantial changes since its rocky arrival on PlayStation 4. Hello Games has been updating the title with huge new features and extra content, and the new Beyond update is no different. Launching on 14th August, it brings expanded multiplayer, PlayStation VR support, and more besides to the enormous space-faring adventure.
Today, the developer has revealed another new aspect coming to the game: The Nexus. This is a multiplayer social space where explorers can convene, show off their cool gear, and meet up for collaborative excursions. You can see a brief glimpse of The Nexus in the above trailer.
"Suddenly your ship that you spent 50 hours earning can now be seen by others in the Nexus," writes Sean Murray on the PlayStation Blog. "Your rare spacesuit and unique helmet can be shown off to other players. Friends and strangers can visit that massive base you’ve been working on."
Are you excited to dive back into No Man's Sky when Beyond drops next week? Hop into your ship in the comments below.

Time to hit my local smelly CEX to pick this up again for a few quid.
It's mental how far NMS has come since launch. I'm tempted to give it another shot... Again.
Ill be jumping into it again when this launches. Looking forward to it.
@ApostateMage - £12 at the moment, I would get it before they realise and jack the price up to £20...
Remember that E3 trailer back in 2014? It's looking much closer to that now. I suppose the only thing really missing is the dinosaur like creatures that more dynamically interact with the world.
🤔 Is this the same No Mans Sky? I havent played it since the day after launch, I was apaulled at how inferior it was when compared to the demo. This trailer looks like the real deal!!! 🤯
No Man’s Sky and Driveclub are outstanding examples of why a game that has a bad start should be ignored forever. Can’t wait for this update.
NMS + PSVR Sound like a perfect matchup! It's been so long since I played this that I'll just start a new game from scratch though.
CANNOT WAIT. Never played this game and am excited to jump in with Beyond! Question though: are they releasing an updated game disc with all the updates already on it? I'd prefer to buy a physical 'Beyond' copy instead of updating an older one for 12 hours. Are they doing that? No sign of it online.
I hope it's in 1st person mode and not 3rd person so one can really feel in no mans sky.
Please better fauna. Dinos, giant monsters...PLEASE, that's all I need more from this game.
Between BL3, Outer Worlds and this i might be set til FF7 drops
@ShogunRok A new or updated review might be in order. If you do pop it in again, I’d love to read a review of how it plays now.
@Th3solution We'll definitely be looking into an updated impressions article once we've had time to play it again. Keep an eye out!
@Peach64 and Warframe too. Props to the developers for carrying on after a bad launch. I’m glad of these sorts of success stories, it means devs know they can actually work hard to make their original visions come true and still be successful.
@invictus4000 I've been watching for that exact thing since the first big update. I'm curious if they'll do a NMS Complete edition for PS5 when it's finally, you know, "done." But done means the end of giant free updates, and do we really want that? On the other hand, they can't keep updating it for free forever can they? I'm curious if they're not working on something else (NMS 2?) and doing these updates on the side.
Yeah bois its finally happening. I haven't played in a while but my headset is ready. I just hope they have the motion worked out so i dont sick (as quickly)
@Peach64 Shouldn't
Good on you, Hello Games, for hanging in there. This looks amazing!
@Luna-Harmony NMS was originally only a first-person game. The option is still there 😀
i never stopped playing,ive been hard at it for 1000s of hours.its a brilliant game, i love it.
Still not sure about this? Isn't it just an endless resource accumulating game? Or is there some other purpose; like combat or something?
@ShogunRok
I still haven't bough the game, but since its everywhere in second hand really cheap, I think I'll give it a try. But only after your feedback on the update.
Btw, the multiplayer system is like the division, I suppose?
@AdamNovice It's so far PAST that.
@LowTech I'm honestly not sure how the multiplayer works right now. I assume you just find other players out and about if you're online? And you can invite friends? Maybe someone can correct me!
@ShogunRok I remember the initial idea that everyone had was that the world was the same for everybody, which wasn't true.
I don't think that they changed that, since it would be almost impossible.
I assume that it works similar to The Division in the way that you are on your own world and you can invite people to it so everything you both do, changes the world of the "host". But the gest can take everything he found with him.. I don't know.
I also assume that now there's this "room", in this case a place, that is commun to everyone (or at least the same people that are in the same server as the player), and that's why you can show your things (also similar to the Division).
Now that I wrote this, I see that I assume a lot..lol
It was sold as a sci-fi space exploration game ... and most of the time you are mico managing you resources (life-system, launch fuel, long range fuel, hyper-space fuel, munition A and B four your guns and ship and ...) And each of theses resources only holds for a too short moment ...
And this did not change yet, but some of the "promises" are still not fullfilled ... I do not need this multiplayer stuff, or base-building (in a space EXPLORATION game? helllo?) etc.
I want exploration instead of micro-manage my resources.
I want to fly through canyons like it was shown in promo-videos.
I want huge beasts like it was shown in promo videos and not similiar spiders on each planet etc.
I want a real sun instead of a skybox-gimmick. Maybe to reload my energy like in elite 1984.
I want rotating moons, planets etc. (and moons arround their planets of course)
Murray made jokes about other games just having a rotating skybox and NMS will have the "real" thing .. no nothing. The moons and planets stand static without a sun in their systems.
You cannot fly from on system to the other, you only can "port" between them ... but murray told us otherwise.
so many lies
For an indie game its ok .. but it is even now not what was sold to us.
ps: yeah there was much more advertised. buggies, subs etc. were not part of it.
@XurAgentofthe9 there is a "creative" mode where you have all resources you might need.
The problem with this mode is ... you see even earlier the limits of the gameplay.
The planets are by far less different than one might expect .. and real questline are nearly not existent.
There is some space-battle or fighting on the landscapes, but it gets stale pretty soon.
And I had played through Elite on my c64 til I was "Elite" ... which was of course not as pretty as NMS, but somehow much more interesing.
@Bonito Thanks. Kind of what I was expecting to hear
By the time I buy this it should be complete Sounds cool
Dropped it after the platinum, tried their last update to get a better ship but found out it would require more effort than I was willing to put in. Burned out.
