Now Playing: No Man's Sky – Official Frontiers Update Trailer
Developer Hello Games said that bringing it to Switch was a moonshot, since the procedurally generated nature of the game means the console has to create every element you see on-screen. The team says it will be revealing more leading up to launch, as it’s optimizing everything from the UI to controls to feel at-home on the Switch.
No Man’s Sky is a vast exploration game, which approximates the infinite nature of space by procedurally generating new planets and star systems. It had a notoriously rocky launch, with many players feeling it didn’t deliver on its promise. But Hello Games didn’t give up on the game, having spent the five years since release expanding and improving it with various updates to both its technical performance and the wealth of things to do. Now it’s regarded as one of the games to have had the most dramatic turnaround since launch.
