No Man’s Sky: Worlds Part 1 Massively Overhauls Planets, Water, Wind Simulation, and More

Part 1 of the latest update for Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky is now available with Worlds. It overhauls the planet generation for much more variety while revamping water, clouds and more. Furthermore, there’s a new Expedition, The Liquidators, where players embark on a mission to eradicate bugs with the help of the heavy-duty Minotaur mech.

However, the “worlds” part of the update is the most compelling. You’ll encounter floating islands (where you can construct bases), admire the variety of clouds, gaze upon the high-definition water (with ripples, foam and reflections) and more. New creatures of the floral kind also abound, and thanks to the full wind simulation, dust storms and the like can crop up.

Players can also discover revamped frozen worlds with new flora, more diverse desert planets and a richer color palette for skyboxes. No Man’s Sky is available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5 and PC. Stay tuned for more details on Worlds soon.
