Hello Games originally released No Man’s Sky back in August 2016 for the PS4 and PC, although it was originally met with criticism due to a perceived lack of content and failing to deliver on its lofty promises. However, despite a rough start, Hello Games managed to turn things around considerably with various expansions and quality-of-life improvements, including bringing the game to other formats such as Xbox Series X/S and PSVR 2.
