It includes several big updates, including support for PSVR and other virtual reality headsets. That’ll let you experience all parts of the game in VR. Beyond will also greatly expand the social and multiplayer options, helping you meet and play with other people. Though No Man’s Sky is adopting some MMO-style gameplay, it won’t ask you to shell out for a subscription or microtransactions — the update is free for all players across PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

No Man’s Sky VR doesn’t lock virtual-reality fans in a mode of their own, but instead incorporates VR players into the existing game universe. VR astronauts can join games with non-VR friends, and they can expect all the same updates that the core game receives in the future.

No Man’s Sky Beyond is a three-part update hitting the game this summer, and VR is the second tier. The first big change, No Man’s Sky Online, adds new social and multiplayer features to the game. Beyond is designed to infuse the game with a deeper sense of immersion and, important for a game as big as the universe, scale.

The third arm of No Man’s Sky Beyond remains a mystery, but Hello Games promises to talk more about it soon.
