“If you want to dial [the challenge] slightly differently, if you wantto have permadeath in relaxed game mode, or whatever it is, you can dothose things,” Murray told PC Gamer. “You can change a ton of things to do withcontrols, a ton of things to do with difficulty, survival, crafting, youknow, you can balance those your own way.”
Hello Games has also made strides to make the game accessible to those that haven’t played in a while. No Man’s Sky has been available since 2016, and Murray is looking at ways to make it easier to get back into the game. One such way is that existing players will have the option of moving their save files into Relaxed mode, and switching back if they don’t care for it. The game also has a new log, making it easier for players to see what they’ve previously done in the game. The inventory has also been streamlined and expanded, allowing players to hold a lot more items and have an easier time managing them.
It remains to be seen whether No Man’s Sky‘s 4.0 update will be able to entice newcomers and existing fans, but players will have the chance to experience it for themselves later this week onPlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Nintendo Switch. In the meantime, readers can check out all of our previous coverage of the game right here.
