WHAT DO YOU DO IN NO MAN’S SKY? We’re coming up to launch and I’m feeling nostalgic, so I went back and I dug out some old builds. Here’s some screenshots just a few weeks in: Here it is 6 months in: Sitting down to write the first lines of code five years ago,...View Article
Update 1.03 When we went gold five or six week ago, we posted on twitter, and literally every reply was like “hope you are going on a nice holiday!”. Some of us have, but I didn’t want to, not yet. I pictured myself somewhere staring out the window thinking about this game I’ve been working...View Article
Hello, Sean here, working super, super hard on No Man’s Sky. Every day, the game is getting better and better, and despite all the late nights (and early mornings) we’re all working to get it finished and in your hands, it’s amazing to see it all coming together. You might already know this, but we had...View Article
So we have come to the end of a second month of IGN First for No Man’s Sky! Hopefully you’ve enjoyed the new footage we’ve been able to share, as well as the behind-the-scenes interviews with our team. We’ve closed the month with our biggest interview to date, a wide-ranging 60 minute ‘Unfiltered’ conversation with IGN’s...View Article
Today, we wanted to show you something new, a little bit of how we approach lore and storytelling in our universe. It’s a bit different to what you might be used to with some other games. With a universe as open as ours – with a near infinite number of planets out there to see...View Article

Last month saw the biggest reveal for the game since our nerve-wracking debut at the VGX Awards. We showed a small demo to hundreds of journalists from around the world, who called the game “breathtakingly beautiful” (Wired) and “insanely exciting” (io9). It was lovely to show the game to real people – including IGN as part...View Article
We have some exciting news to share! We’re doing IGN First once again, making No Man’s Sky the only game to do so for a second time. Needless to say, we’re honoured! It’s kicking off with easily the biggest look at the game to date. Sean recently sat down with IGN’s Ryan McCaffrey to present...View Article
Even now, it’s surreal to think that our favourite band – 65daysofstatic – is helping create the procedural sounds of our universe, and even more so that their official album for the game – ‘No Man’s Sky: Music for an Infinite Universe’ – will be available for purchase soon! It’s debuting alongside the game this summer, and...View Article
Over the last few weeks, we were very proud, excited (and a little terrified!) to give people a taste of what to expect from No Man’s Sky. As well as seeing online and mainstream media from around the world, we were fortunate to have two of the biggest magazines – Official PlayStation Magazine UK and PC...View Article
