No Man's Sky's big Worlds Part I refresh dropped just last week, free for all players, and in that time, an astronomical number of PS5 players returned to check out the difference. Not bad for an almost decade-old game, eh?
As observed by The Gamer, the update caused not only a spike in players on Steam (which enjoyed its highest numbers in years, almost 50k in 24 hours) but PS5 punters returned in droves, too. While hard PlayStation player numbers are famously more difficult to pin down, trends and percentages can be noted.
Trophy tracking outlet True Trophies did exactly that: In the past week, over 400% more players on PS5 booted up the game, and if you include PS4, that number rises to some 493%. These figures are pulled from a data sample of over 3.1 million active PSN accounts, enabled by the outlet's partnership with firm GameInsights.
No Man's Sky saw more players on PlayStation last week than Diablo 4, Final Fantasy XIV, Honkai Star Rail, or Mortal Kombat 1, for comparison. These wonderful figures even came to the attention of the director and face of developer Hello Games, Sean Murray, who seemed pretty chuffed.
