The space game No Man’s Sky was the bearer of many hopes, but the game’s launch on Steam was a complete failure. Instead of giving up and moving on, the developers continued to provide the game with updates and are now approaching a major milestone.
What kind of game is this? No Man’s Sky is an open-world game set in a science fiction universe and consists of many procedurally generated planets.
However, after a disastrous launch on Steam, the game is now approaching a new milestone, following another recent success.

New update causes boom and good reviews
Why is the game now reaching a new milestone? No Man’s Sky has been enjoying a real boom on Steam since its big update 5.0. The update brought an annual high in the number of players and the game reached first place in the Steam charts (via SteamDB).
However, new players seem to like the game more than old ones. The game’s ratings have been rising steadily for years. No Man’s Sky now has 79% positive reviews on Steam.
A few more positive reviews and the review label changes from Mostly Positive to Very Positive. This milestone was already achieved in a similar way when the game achieved the Mostly Positive label in 2021.
How do players like the game today? Today, players like the game more than ever. Of the recent reviews on Steam, 92% are positive. A figure that also pleases the boss of No Man’s Sky. He writes about the success on Steam (via X.com): “Number 1 in the Steam charts. It’s nice to see that the No Man’s Sky community welcomed so many new players with open arms this weekend.”
No Man’s Sky is one of the few games that has fought its way back to the top from the bottom. The game was accused of being overhyped by the developers, but then not being able to keep the promise.
