No Man's Sky launches on iPhone and iPad October 28

No Man's Sky, the space exploration game from Hello Games, will be released for iPhone and iPad on October 28. The iOS version includes nearly all updates and expansions from the game's ten-year history, but lacks multiplayer and limits planetary settlement building to newer devices. Players can try the game for free at launch, and it supports both touch and external controls.

Why it mattersBringing a large-scale, procedurally generated game like No Man's Sky to iOS highlights advances in mobile hardware and software optimization. This release expands the game's reach and sets a technical milestone for premium mobile gaming experiences.
