no man's sky
"no man's sky next" is a significant update to the game that hello games considered to be more representative of the game they wanted to release in 2016. the update included a full multiplayer experience, allowing up to four players to create and customize their in-game avatar and to join as allies to explore planets and star systems and build bases together, or as opponents to fight against each other. bases are no longer limited to specific spots on a planet and now can be built nearly anywhere, including underwater, and such bases will be visible to all other players of the game (on their respective platform). players are able to assemble fleets of starships to be used to send out on various missions. the game's engine has gotten a significant overhaul in how planets are procedurally generated as well as how they are rendered to the player. with the expanded multiplayer features, "next" required players on consoles to have a playstation plus or xbox live gold service subscription to use the multiplayer elements. at launch, the gog.com version of "no man's sky next" lacked the multiplayer component, a feature that hello games expects to add later in the year to work with the gog galaxy software, but otherwise had all new content. as a result, gog offered refunds within a limited window for anyone that had bought the game regardless of when that purchase was made.
