No Man’s Sky is a game that hasn’t stopped growing. With a disappointing launch, it has managed to become a tremendously celebrated game thanks to constant updates that have turned it into a true behemoth of a gigantic universe you could never fully explore. But not impossible to fit on a phone or tablet. Because if there’s one thing Hello Games has proven, it’s that No Man’s Sky fits on your iPhone and your iPad starting October 28.
No Man’s Sky in your pocket
According to Sean Murray, the game’s director and studio head, this version of the game for mobile devices won’t make any serious compromises compared to the console and desktop versions. “I guess I should say that this isn’t No Man’s Sky Lite,” he said in the blog post about this new version of the game. That’s why it will include all of the game’s updates, including last year’s Voyagers expansion, and the only notable absences will be multiplayer and planetary settlements.
The game will be playable on the iPhone 11 and the third-generation iPad Air and all later versions. The download size will be a surprising 5GB, and that isn’t the only area where they’ve made a major effort to optimize the game for mobile devices. “Perhaps more importantly, we’ve worked on battery life and heat management, and we’re super proud that No Man’s Sky can be enjoyed comfortably for prolonged periods of time”. That confirms this will be an excellent new way to keep playing a game that’s already long-running and has cemented its cult status.
