No Man’s Sky Won’t Require PS Plus for Online Play

Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky is slowly upon us – some more so than others if you happen about certain forums – and is looking to be well worth the wait. Though creator Sean Murray noted that players won’t exactly be able to meet their friends immediately in-game due to the distance in galaxies, No Man’s Sky does support online play. Even better news is that it won’t require PlayStation Plus on the PS4.

Game Informer Australia editor David Milner confirmed this when speaking to PlayStation PR. “Just confirmed with Sony: you don’t need PS Plus to play No Man’s Sky online. Some readers were confused by the language on this. Good news.”

Indeed it is, because it allows all kinds of PlayStation 4 users to enjoy everything that No Man’s Sky has to offer when it’s out on August 9th for PS4 and August 12th for PC. What are your thoughts on the news? Let us know in the comments.
