No Man's Sky Set to Expand to New Platform in Upcoming Update

No Man's Sky enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating another game update that could potentially expand the game to one of the few modern platforms currently not supporting it. Sean Murray, the founder and creator of No Man's Sky, has once again teased fans with a single emoji on his Twitter account, which regular players will recognize as a clue towards an upcoming update for the procedurally generated space exploration game.

Since its shaky debut in 2016, No Man's Sky has undergone numerous content updates and has emerged as one of the most notable redemption stories in gaming history. The game's consistent support over the years, coupled with a strong emphasis on incorporating feedback from the community, has transformed No Man's Sky into a vastly different experience from its original version. Recent updates have also widened the game's audience, with additional support for platforms such as the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation's new PS VR2 technology.

Sean Murray, creator of No Man's Sky, has once again ignited speculation about upcoming updates through a single apple emoji tweet. With No Man's Sky set to arrive on Mac later this year, it's not difficult to surmise that the next update may bring the game's procedurally generated universe to Apple users. Apple has already showcased the game being played on the Mac Mini and boasted about its graphical technologies that will enhance the gaming experience on new hardware. Additionally, No Man's Sky will be one of the first games to utilize Apple's MetalFX upscaling technology and Metal 3 graphics API. The recent discovery of a file labeled "Mac" in the game's internal depot further suggests an imminent MacOS port for No Man's Sky.

The continued growth of No Man's Sky's fanbase can be attributed to the game's support for next-gen hardware and its availability on the Nintendo Switch. However, despite its popularity, fans still have a laundry list of desired features and changes for future updates. Fortunately, Sean Murray has hinted at a slew of new content arriving this year, with 2023 set to be an even more significant year for the game than the last. No Man's Sky is currently accessible on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, with a Mac port currently in the works.
