The well-receivedAtlas Rising updatemay have only just been released forNo Man’s Sky, but Hello Games isn’t taking a break from providing support for its space exploration title, releasing another new patch a mere two days after the aforementioned Atlas Rising update.
Titled patch 1.31, the latestNo Man’s Skyupdate is considerably smaller than the Atlas Rising update. In contrast to Atlas Rising’s 30 hours of new story content and various new features, patch 1.31 provides fixes to some issues experienced by players in the game, such as unexpected crashes when players have too many active waypoints, guild missions not rewarding players properly, and crashes when players try to save following long playthroughs.
The list of issues addressed by patch 1.31 include:
No Man’s Skyhad endured a rocky launch back in 2016, but the last few updates have helped swing player attention back towards its way. The Atlas Rising update proved to be a particularly big hit among players, managing togiveNo Man’s Skya huge boost on Steamin the subsequent days following its release. While patch 1.31 features far less content than the Atlas Rising update, the fact that Hello Games managed to release it just two days later signifies that the studio intend on supporting the space exploration epic for some time yet.
With various long-promised features, such asmultiplayer, finally being implemented into the game, the new slate of content has managed to slowly draw players into coming back toNo Man’s Sky. There is still a long way to go before Hello Games is able to recover from the game’s poorly-received 2016 launch, but should the studio manage to keep up the consistent release of updates and patches, as well as engaging the fanbase with related content like last month’s Waking Titan ARG, there’s no reason to not believe thatNo Man’s Skycould one day become the game that was initially promised.
No Man’s Skyis available now on PC and PlayStation 4.
