Key Takeaways
- No Man’s Sky developer Hello Games has been celebrating its new “Very Positive” rating on Steam, and has promised fans there’s more to come.
- No Man’s Sky engine programmer Matthew Griffiths explained on Twitter that the devs “aren’t even close to being finished” with the game, despite the fact it’s been updated for close to a decade.
No Man’s Sky developers and fans reached a pretty momentous milestone earlier this week, as the game finally managed to achieve a “Very Positive” rating on Steam for the first time since launch. That may not sound like that big of an achievement on paper, but its testament to how much developer Hello Games has worked to improve and tinker with the title ever since its horrendous launch back in 2016.
No Man’s Sky may as well be a completely different game compared to back then, as seemingly countless updates have been pushed out to add bigger and better mechanics and features to a game that fans already love. Having worked on the title for almost a decade, and with the upcoming launch of the studio’s next ambitious project in Light No Fire, there have been some questions as to how long No Man’s Sky will keep being supported.
No Man’s Sky Devs “Aren’t Even Close” To Finished After Improved Steam Rating
For those of you that really enjoy No Man’s Sky and want it to keep going forever, you’ll be pleased to hear that it doesn’t sound like Hello Games has any plans to stop support just yet. In a recent tweet from No Man’s Sky engine programmer Matthew Griffiths celebrating the game’s new “Very Positive” rating, he says that the developers “aren’t even close to being finished” with the game right now.

No Man’s Sky Doesn’t Care For The Difficulty Debate
Hello Games makes it clear that it doesn’t matter how you play No Man’s Sky, as long as you’re having a good time doing it.
“Our tiny team at Hello Games have grafted and then grafted some more.. and although “very positive” might be just a few words, it means an awful lot, especially since we aren’t even close to being finished yet,” says Griffiths. “Thank you to all players who believed in us and those of you who continue to journey with us.”
That’s pretty great news for those that love the game, and were slightly worried about a tweet that creator Sean Murray posted earlier this year. Back in August, Murray teased that three new expansions were on the way, though it didn’t seem as though the game had much of a future beyond them. Fast forward to now, with two of those updates now live”, and fans were fearing that the game’s next big update may be its last. Thankfully, it seems as though No Man’s Sky has plenty of life in it yet.
