Launching alongside the new Nintendo Switch version, the update to the space exploration game adds a new Relaxed mode, as well as customisation features, an inventory overhaul, an information portal and quality of life improvements. Waypoint launches Oct. 7
No Man’s Sky gets a major new update alongside its launch on Nintendo Switch on Friday. The update, called Waypoint, brings the game to version 4.0 and conducts a sweeping overhaul of the game’s balance and structure — although it doesn’t add much new content.
Developer Hello Games said Waypoint is designed to help new and returning players make sense of a game that has had 21 major updates in the six years since it initially launched, and to give Switch players a more “pick-up and play” experience.
