Reach out and touch space.



UPDATE: The first No Man's Sky update is now out!
It's a much-awaited bundle of fixes, as well as compatibility and performance improvements and you can grab it now via GOG Galaxy auto-updates, or with the newest offline installers.



<span class="bold">No Man's Sky</span> a massive science-fiction game set in an infinite procedurally generated galaxy, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com. Note that the game takes place in one persistent PC universe, shared across GOG and Steam.

In an intergalactic society, only the few set off towards the stars — explorers, those unafraid, those with nothing to lose. They set off never to come back as far as any of us are concerned. And thus, we still look up at an infinite sky, now within our reach, yet still untouched — a no man's land, a No Man's Sky.

No Man's Sky promises discovery of an infinite, uncharted universe. Its billions of stars, planets, unknown living creatures, breathtaking sights and lonely wastelands — all seamlessly connected — gradually getting catalogued by explorers drawn to the distant mysteries of the horizon, eager to leave a permanent mark in their wake.

The frontier is merciless and dangerous. Exposed to a universe of extremities in your fragile suit and ship, you'll need resources and upgrades to get far — as well as the means to stand your ground in a fight. Whether you journey to the center of it all or seek out the farthest reaches of existence, the trip will not be simple or dull. You'll catalogue things unseen, discover alien artifacts and reveal the greatest mysteries of the universe. If you survive.



Calibrate your suits for extreme insomnia, reach out and touch the <span class="bold">No Man's Sky</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com!

feonix: After a week and we still don't have the same version Steam users have. This means that there are people who still can't launch the game.

barleyguy: It should be noted that the people who can't launch the game because of the SSE 4.1 requirement (not a bug), don't meet the original system requirements. And Hello Games is making a patch for them anyway.

feonix: 11pm in Poland. We will have to wait for them to wake up, fresh and relaxed, put their slippers on, shuffle downstairs to the kitchen....put the kettle on... read the newspaper... take a dump... feed the cat.... I could go on... this is how I feel GOG operates. They aren't operating on a professional level. The sun goes down, they put the closed sign on the door. The weekend comes, they close and go to the beach. Meanwhile, the international game store/platform that they are responsible for is not manned, and customers around the world are left in the lurch. You can't have it both ways, you can't be "Big Time" running your business like a shop from the '80s.

barleyguy: That's exactly how I'd run it if I was them. I work for a huge corporation and I still go home on the evenings and weekends. They could add off hours tech support people, but as far as development and deployment, I don't in any way agree they should do that off hours. Are you so fricking impatient that you can't wait until business hours for a patch?
Business hours on what day though? Next week? Two weeks from now? Who can really tell with GOG. It took 5 days to get the first patch, steam users have been getting continued support.

Still crashes from the outset. Shitty.

barleyguy: They did list "Core i3" as a minimum system requirement long before launch. Anything less than a Core i3 is therefore below the requirements.

(The rest of your comment I don't even consider relevant, so I'm not replying to it.)

MaGo72: So you think people will know that with that requirement stated a SSE 4.1 instruction set is required? They could have at least stated an AMD requirement as well.
Well AMD has struggled to produce anything that challenges an i3, so....

I say that as a jilted former AMD fanboi, now forced to fly the blue flag out of grim necessity.

Hey guys I'm on my phone and it looks like there is another patch.
Posted August 19, 2016
My home patch to enormously improve the game. Before my game lag from time to time.

Now with the patch nothing. I am happy. I'm on a laptop asus g75vx (for information).

I hope that other patch will come out quickly to those who still have problems. Anyway this is a good first step.

Wishbone: Hehe, given that I do software development for a living, yes, I know what a patch does ;-)

IAmSinistar: You and me both, matey. Though I hate writing them. So much nicer (for me) to just release the whole ball of wax again. For the user, less so. ;)
Yeah, well I work with big enterprise server solutions, and I have to deploy the changes myself, so I vastly prefer to just redeploy the assemblies that have actually changed.

GOG Team! We are waiting for your quick response!

It's Friday Morning there now, last chance for them to get the updated patches for us before the weekend, and we all know they don't work weekends.

I don't think you can honestly say that Hello Games is supporting the GOG platform.

Wow, colour me impressed! Same day as the Steam update! I've had to wait sometimes upwards of 3 days for GOG to catch up, I'm very glad to see they've stepped their game up for NMS. Headin' to bed now, but I'm definitely gonna see if I can finally get it working tomorrow! Kudos GOG (and kudos as well to all the hard workin' folks at Hello Games sweating over this patch and the upcoming patches and content updates)!

If this situation doesn't change in nearly future, I will make refund and buy at Steam. I hate Steam, but I won't have any other choice.

I hate doing business with companies like HG. Makes me feel dirty.

MaGo72: Although Murray tracked back on the "no paid DLCs" statement.
What's one more measly lie in an ocean already full of them, heh?

By the way, there's this nice interview of Crooked Sean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Mz5YPkThOU. Obviously, it's a parody; Murray is more attractive.

My favourite ones are the gameplay trailers still over at Steam. Massive fleets of ships. Faction battles with said fleets. Multiple wingmen to help you do space things, and even fly on planets with you.
Basically the space shit went barebones.

edit: attached a picture to show just how massive it WAS...

edit again: I'll just link you to the videos instead:
