No Man’s Sky debuted today on PC, but its performance is leaving many people disappointed.
Developer Hello Games launched No Man’s Sky — its universe-exploring space simulator — on the Steam distribution channel this morning, and some players are already reporting troubles with a stuttering framerate. Sony’s PlayStation 4 home gaming console got it earlier this week, and that iteration does not suffer from the same problems. This has led to only 29 percent of players giving the game a positive user review on Steam. Even on the most powerful gaming rigs with top-of-the-line video cards, No Man’s Sky freezes up for up to a second at a time while the game struggles to render the visuals. This makes it often nearly unplayable. This is a rough introduction for one of the most anticipated releases of the year (which I like), but Hello is already launching a patch.
