Undoubtedly, 2022 has been one of the busiest years for No Man’s Sky with the release of the Sentinel, Outlaws, Leviathan, and Endurance updates as well as several more large expeditions, all free to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation VR owners. That’s not all, though. Today, Sean Murray, Founder of Hello Games, announced that the 4.0 update, Waypoint, is available to download today!
Here is an overview of Waypoint:
Waypoint brings an overhaul of design and balance, including inventories, milestones, cataloging, and game modes. It also introduces hundreds of community-favorite quality-of-life improvements, both macro and micro. Stocks have been overhauled, with ships, weapons, and players' level cap greatly increased. In addition, you can now customize survival, crafting, combat, and controls to cater to travelers’ unique play styles.
Relaxed mode brings a new focus on sandbox exploration for travelers, old and new. Meanwhile, returning players are welcomed by a new information portal with a summary of their goals and progress.
For long-term players, a new milestone system, new collectibles, and improved mission content bring new long-term goals and challenges. Additionally, with new streamlining and balance, Waypoint allows players to enjoy twenty major updates as a more cohesive whole.
This is hopefully the best time to be a No Man’s Sky player, whether you are a new explorer who benefits from our Relaxed Mode. This returning player is welcomed back by a more cohesive gameplay experience or a core player who is excited about the increased level cap and hundreds of quality-of-life improvements.
The leap from version 3.0 to 4.0 is perhaps our biggest generational jump. It’s an exciting moment and marks a solid foundation for future updates. We can’t wait for players to experience Waypoint today.
Our journey continues.
