No Man’s Sky is not a PlayStation 4 exclusive. It’s a timed exclusive, but it’ll also be out on the PC, say its developers. Though the company has plans for a PC version of the game, they have said nothing about an Xbox One version.
For those not in the know, No Man’s Sky is set in a procedurally generated universe offering players with a theoretically infinite number of worlds to explore and interact with.
Speaking in the latest edition of Edge magazine, Hello Games’ Sean Murray said that the game will start as a timed PS4 exclusive, and that it’ll eventually come to the PC. Murray clarified that console simplicity is a guiding principal behind the development at the game, but not at the cost of a PC version.
"I actually got in a bit of trouble for saying that we wanted the game to feel really console-y," Murray said.
"We've always had PC in mind but in my head [console-y] means solid framerate and immediate controls. I think a PC game can be console-y and it's intended as a compliment, but I get in trouble for saying it."
No Man’s Sky was originally announced at Spike TV’s VGX Awards last December. It does not have a release date as of yet.
