The post-launch success story that is No Man's Sky has been incredibly well documented up to now, and those still playing the space explorer are about to receive yet another welcome feature. Starting tomorrow, Hello Games' biggest title to date will support cross-play across PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. This marks yet another game to add to the growling list of PS4 games which support the functionality.
Taking to the game's official website, Sean Murray explained how a huge amount of work has gone into the update and underlying game systems. "We’ve moved to an entirely new networking architecture, with more flexibility for the future, allowing players to play together regardless of platform. I’m very proud of the team that has worked so hard to make this happen." He then goes on to state that No Man's Sky has yet more small and major updates in the pipeline.
For a full list of PS4 games which now support cross-play, check out our guide. Will you be teaming up with friends on other platforms in No Man's Sky? Navigate the stars in the comments below.

That is awesome news!
Maybe they can pack some friends that play this with the update
Time to raid some Xbox bases.
This game keeps on giving!
"and PC"
I'm not a professional working in the industry but does everybody understand what "PC" means? Yes, I know PC stands for personal computer, but is there a difference between say any old PC, like it runs on any Windows PC, vs say needing to have a Steam or EA or Ubisoft account? And then there are lot of games that work on PC via PS Now and Xbox Gamepass, but not all Xbox games.
So does PC means Windows X, or does it mean on a PC but you may need to have an account somewhere else? Do physical retail stores still sell PC games on disc or is it all digital now? It's been SO LONG since I bought a PC game on disc. Titan Quest maybe.
@rjejr by "PC" was always meant to be platform / architecture plus hardware combination, which can be translated as "a personal computer (desktop or laptop) (but not a Mac) with a modern OS (Windows, Linux)". It is obvious that it doesn't include old PCs running DOS. Steam, Uplay, Origin etc., however, are launchers / game library organizers, not platforms.

PS5 port will be confirmed tomorrow
Waits for the "too little too late" stupid posts to pop up
HG have done amazing job with NMS least they have stood by it
I love to see all the games starting to support cross play in recent times. But again, I also hope devs will let players on console choose if they want it to be enabled or not, like Rocket League does.
@ApostateMage my immediate thought haha

Nothing. Just wanted to post the usual "but no one asked for crossplay" comment on behalf of those who forgot Sony abandoned the no-crossplay thing a while ago. It might be petty, sure, but there are more pettily-worded takes on the matter.
