The developers at Hello Games are back with yet another update for No Man’s Sky. Starting today, a select number of users will have the ability to play around in their NMS universe across a collection of platforms with the new cross-save functionality. According to the announcement, adding cross-saving was a bit of an undertaking for the development team.
“It’s very common for players to rack up thousands of hours of saves,” the announcement reads. “Adding cross-save for us is a little bit like moving house, the longer people have lived there the more complicated it is to move them.”
No Man’s Sky now supports cross-saves across PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Series S/X, Xbox Game Pass, PC, Steam Deck, PSVR 1 / 2, PCVR, GOG, and Nintendo Switch. Players can visit this site to link their different platform accounts and read the cross-save FAQ. However, only a select few players will be able to play their saves across different platforms with Hello Games rolling out the functionality to more players in the coming days.
November 7th is known in the BioWare fandom as N7 Day (get it, November 7th) — a semi-official community holiday celebrating all things Mass Effect. In 2021, Hello Games introduced Mass Effect’s famous starship, the SSV Normandy SR-1 as a collectible ship. For this year’s N7 Day, the Normandy is back for players to claim for a limited time.
In addition to cross-saves and cool ships, to coincide with the launch of the PS5 Pro, No Man’s Sky is also getting an enhanced version compatible with the souped up console. Updated features include 4K resolution at 60fps, support for 8K resolution at 30fps, and improved lighting.
All three updates are available now and are completely free.
