In a recent tweet, Martin Griffiths,No Man’s Sky‘s engine programmer, shared a long list of platform combinatorics that currently support the game.

No Man’s SkySupports 21 Platform Combinatorics
No Man’s Sky‘s engine programmer, Martin Griffiths, is a well-known name in the gaming industry for his contribution toProjectCarsand EA’sHarry Pottergames. In a recent tweet, Griffiths revealed thatNo Man’s Skysupports 21 platform combinatorics, listing all of them. Optimizing the game for all these combinatorics isn’t an easy job but the highly-skilled devs at Hello Games were able to do it.
Here’s a fun updated list of the platform combinatorics that we currently support in No Man’s Sky! It’s a long list, which I hope conveys the complexity involved in releasing a large cross platform game like ours:PS5 (Base)PS5 (Base, PSVR2)PS5 ProPS5 Pro (8K)PS5 Pro (PSVR2)…
Thanks to the efforts of the systems and engine team at Hello Games, All these platform combinatorics were created and maintained in a single unified code base. The list also reveals that there are roughly 140 combinations of graphics options within PC and Mac. It is very impressive that Hello Games is able to maintain and support this while many major video game studios are still struggling.

The game had a rocky start as the game received mixed reviews initially as players found the gameplay uninspiring and repetitive. On top of this, many claimed that Hello Games cut a lot of features from the final version of the game. It was clear that the studio wasn’t able to handle the larger-than-expected player count but with post-release updates, the studio has managed to improve the game.
It’s been eight years since the release ofNo Man’s Skyand it seems like Hello Games is finally ready to move on. At The Game Awards 2023 in December, Sean Murray, Hello Games’ co-founder, introducedLight No Fire, another exploration and survival gamelikeNo Man’s Sky.
