Hello Games has announced that No Man's Sky is coming to the iPhone and iPad. The sci-fi exploration game will be available on iOS starting 28 October.
Studio founder Sean Murray said the mobile version is basically the full game rather than a cut-down copy. It arrives a decade after the game first launched.
No Man's Sky lets players explore a huge universe of planets, trading and fighting as they go. It first came out in 2016 and has received years of free updates.
🔍 The Backstory
No Man's Sky had a rocky start in 2016, when players found it lacked features that had been promised. Hello Games responded with years of free expansions and slowly rebuilt its reputation.
Bringing a huge console game to phones is technically hard. Many mobile ports are simplified, so a full version on iOS would be unusual.
Apple has been pushing iPhones and iPads as gaming devices, and big-name games help make that pitch.
🎯 Why It Matters
