This major overhaul and follow-up to the NEXT patch will include a highly-anticipated VR mode, allowing players to experience the game on PSVR or other PC VR headsets, even while interacting with non-VR players.

The free Beyond update is now due to land August 14 and will include three large updates rolled into one, with a host of new features and tweaks still to be announced.

Hello Games founder Sean Murray commented on the VR experience making its way into No Man’s Sky:

Check out the teaser trailer below and be sure to drop us a comment if this new update will lure you back into the game after its rocky initial launch.

Anything possible in No Man’s Sky, NEXT or any other update will soon be ready and waiting as an immersive and enriched VR experience. Beyond will be our most ambitious chapter so far, and something we’ve been working ridiculously hard on. We’ll continue to support No Man’s Sky in this way for the foreseeable future.

We look forward to sharing more in the coming weeks. There’s a bunch more to talk about and we can’t wait for you to join us on August 14.
