This is actually full cross play. So PS4 players are in as well I think?

Yup

“Over the past six months,” explained Hello Games in its announcement, “we have been quietly reworking the networking back-end of the game to get all versions of the game onto one single multiplayer base”. To that end, players from all platforms - whether on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Steam, GOG, Windows 10, or in VR - will be able to meet in No Man’s Sky’s Nexus to take on missions or simply explore the universe together, starting tomorrow, 11th June.

I’ll post up my NMS code in a bit.

I saw thing (IIRC it might be the patch notes at their web site) which implied it’s currently ‘platform holder cross play’ e.g. Xbox &PC together but not all three together. However they do have ‘full’ cross play in the works and it’ll be coming quite soon.

Yeah, going to have to go back in and get my portal code 😃.

    Jonbwfc I mean this is from their website a couple of days ago

    We are excited to be able to announce that, starting tomorrow, PlayStation 4 players, Xbox One players and PC players will all be able to explore, journey, survive, build, and trade together. Excitingly, No Man’s Sky is joining what is at the moment a fairly small group of games which support cross-platform multiplayer

    So I think it’s there now.

      a month later

      I had a quick look round on the day day the patch came out. It’s quite fun. I’d describe the derelicts as ‘eerie’ rather than full of Alien Isolation style jump scares - there are aliens, and they will do you a mischief, but they’re basically space slugs so the sheer terror just isn’t there. It’s good fun dodging the security drones and what have you though.

      I was very excited to learn you could build teleports on your freighter now, but it turns out their - currently at least - one way, you can get from your freighter to your base or a space station, but that’s all. Bah.

      But you know, more free stuff. All good.

      A PS5/XSX upgrade would be nice.

      It is quite stylised though, would be interesting to see how they’d use things like raytracing, if at all. I have no idea whatsoever what is going to be in the update and the image they’ve put out doesn’t give many clues. Maybe more wildlife and terrain templates, but I don’t see anything particularly unusual in the image.

      Still, looking forward to it. I do still tinker in there occasionally.

        Jonbwfc Raytraced alien puddles, obviously. They’re like Earth puddles but a different colour.

            Shai’aluuud!

            Going to make exploring actually worth doing again, at least for a bit. A UI revamp was def required, although I’ll have to see what they’ve actually done.. @Brave, did you ever try that code out?

            about a 10Gb update by the looks of it.

              Just clocked that No Man’s Sky is on the PlayStation Plus double discount offer. £17.49.

              Had it on disc when it came out and enjoyed it for what it was but got rid just before the first big update.

                Jonbwfc I got sucked in to VRing in an old save last night. I’ll def have a try tonight after I update. Worth a totally fresh start do we think?

                GassyHaggis Do it!

                      Just updating now, might have time for a poke tonight. Do I need to do anything to enable crossplay? Did Jon post summit before?

                      Just fired up a new save. Within seconds I was swearing in appreciation. It looks goooood

                      I started a new save on Xbox earlier. One of the planets in my starting system says “worm-ridden” when scanned.
