ORIGINAL STORY 16/8/19: Yesterday brought No Man’s Sky’s big Beyond update, which lets you play the full game in VR, hang out in 16-person multiplayer and milk aliens.
But some Beyond players have reported a bumpy start to their new space adventures, and there are many, many reports of crashes on both PC and console. Those playing here in the Eurogamer office have also experienced this.
Looking through reports on Reddit, Twitter and the game’s Discord this morning, older save files seem particularly affected.
Many reported issues loading Beyond’s new Nexus space hub and, just before 1am UK time this morning, Hello Games released an update to Beyond’s opt-in Experimental Branch to address this on PC.
“First of all, thanks so much to everyone who has already spent time playing Beyond and letting us know about any issues you’ve experienced. It’s overwhelming to watch thousands of players begin or continue their journey across the universe,” Hello Games wrote on Steam.
