No Man’s Sky’s free Beyond update makes it more of a multiplayer game

Hello Games announced today that No Man’s Sky‘s next update, Beyond, is coming out this summer. It will be free and add new multiplayer and social features to the space exploration game.

No Man’s Sky came out in 2016 for PlayStation 4 and PC, with an Xbox One version following in 2018. Despite a lot of marketing and hype leading up to its release and strong initial sales, many players expressed disappointment with its lack of features and cooperative play.
