Hello Games described the new experience in some detail:
Sean Murray, founder of Hello Games, took to Twitter shortly after the unveiling and provided a few more details. Murray said the VR mode is not restricted to No Man’s Sky Next or the new Beyond content. Instead, anything and everything in No Man’s Sky can be experienced in VR once the mode launches.
However, it isn’t simply a VR add on. Instead, Murray said the team worked to create a VR experience from the ground up to create a fully immersive experience because “It’s completely unique to land on a world that no-one has ever seen before and to really feel as if you’re there.”
VR mode is part of the larger expansion set to release this year dubbed Beyond. Not much is known about Beyond at this point, save that it will feature a deep multiplayer experience and fulfill some of the promises Murray and his team made from before the base game first launched.
Despite appearing during Sony’s new broadcast series, No Man’s Sky VR is going to launch simultaneously for PS4 and PC this summer.
