Hello Games’ latest patch for No Man’s Sky, Patch 3.15, further enhances the title on PlayStation 5 and vastly improves the PlayStation VR experience on the new console. The development studio previously boosted No Man’s Sky’s performance on the newer consoles by releasing PS5 and Xbox Series X|S upgrades at launch.

These next-gen updates introduced 4K visuals and 60FPS on consoles. Hello Games additionally unleashed greater detail to explorable worlds, much faster loading speeds, and 32-player multiplayer. Those who already owned the spacefaring title on PS4 and Xbox One received access to their console’s respective next-gen upgrade free of charge. Needless to say, such a roll out further contributed to No Man’s Sky’s applause-worthy redemption arc.

No Man’s Sky Patch 3.15 debuts a few interesting improvements on PlayStation hardware. Patch notes on the game’s official website reveals that a “rendering-related crash on PS5” has been fixed. In addition, the update vastly improves loading times and optimizes the install size on Sony’s new system. PS5 owners will also be pleased to learn that Patch 3.15 “significantly” enhances both resolution and performance when enjoying the game’s PlayStation VR support. PC and Xbox Series S received some love in the update, too; the former gets stability improvements, while the latter’s high quality mode can now make use of improved ultra settings.

Despite the game’s rocky launch nearly five years ago, developer Hello Games keeps providing players with reasons to return to the experience. Larger updates, as well as those on the smaller side, have added new content, optimized the game’s performance, and fundamentally altered how No Man’s Sky is played in many respects. Patch 3.15 represents yet another example of Hello Games’ commitment to providing its user-base with the best experience possible.

No Man’s Sky’s last major update, prior to the next-gen upgrade, rolled out in September of last year as Origins Update 3.0. It most notably introduced a new aesthetic, with a revamped menu and interface. Planetary changes ushered in new alien wildlife and flora, in addition to more dynamic environments. Enhancements on this front altered the way in which players explored the certain landscapes, thanks to dramatic weather conditions like blizzards, meteor showers, and tornadoes. With all of this in mind, who knows what Hello Games is cooking up next?

No Man’s Sky is out now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S platforms.
