No Man's Sky

No Man's Sky offers full virtual reality support on PSVR2 for the game's entire vast universe, from exploring procedurally generated planets and building bases to piloting your own ship, interstellar travel, and multiplayer expeditions with other players. Players can physically look up at a sky full of unknown constellations, reach out a hand to scan plants and creatures, or glance over their shoulder in the cockpit while flying through a planet's atmosphere, adding an entirely new dimension to exploration even years after the base game's release. Mining resources, crafting equipment, trading at stations, and fighting pirates in space remain unchanged, but the spatial perception of the scale of planets, ships, and stations in VR greatly strengthens the feeling that the player is truly present in a huge, living universe.

On PSVR2, the game uses improved resolution and eye tracking to deliver sharper visuals of distant objects and smoother transitions between menus and the game world, which matters a great deal in such a vast game with so many systems. The Sense controllers' adaptive triggers and haptics respond to mining with a laser, firing handheld weapons, and the impact of a ship landing, making the routine activities a player performs for dozens of hours feel less repetitive. Ambient music and the sounds of different biomes, from stormy wastelands to calm ocean planets, together with a sense of spatial depth, heighten the feeling of solitude and exploratory excitement the game is known for.

VR support on PSVR2 was received as one of the most natural expansions of the game, since it requires no separate version or content restrictions — players can switch between VR and standard play at any time. No Man's Sky therefore stands among the titles that demonstrate how well an existing large-scale game can be complemented by full VR support without compromise, and it remains one of the most extensive experiences available on the platform.

Why play: For PSVR2 owners wanting a vast space experience without compromise — smoothly switching between VR and standard play makes No Man's Sky one of the most extensive offerings on the platform.
