Hello Games is bringing No Man’s Sky to a new console. The publisher has unveiled No Man’s Sky Switch 2 Edition, and shared an accompanying video that explains some of its upgrades over the original Switch port.
Players who had No Man’s Sky on the original Switch should notice an immediate visual upgrade. The game’s Switch 2 Edition has an improved framerate, 4K texture support and a crisper UI, in addition to supporting Switch 2’s touchscreen and gyro controls. No Man’s Sky will also have multiplayer functionality on Switch 2.
“With the original Switch, we were pushing right at the edge of what was possible,” explains Hello Games co-founder Sean Murray in the video. “No Man’s Sky on Switch 2 is just a huge leap forward. The extra horsepower, it allows us to add full multiplayer for the first time on Switch 2. Cross save and cross play are there from day one, allowing players a seamless experience across devices.”
