Hello Games has announced that No Man’s Sky Beyond, the latest expansion for the sci-fi exploration sim, will be available in two weeks, on August 14, for PC and PlayStation 4. The update will introduce, among other things, a new multiplayer experience and virtual reality support.

“Beyond will contain three major updates rolled into one larger free release,” reads the blog post on Hello Games’ official website. “These changes are a mix of features we’ve been dreaming of for a while, and a reaction to how we have seen folks playing since the release of NEXT.”

An expanded Online experience “will bring a radical new social and multiplayer experience which empowers players everywhere in the universe to meet and play together,” says the post, while “VR support will bring the entire game experience to life in virtual reality.”

“Grab the joystick and thruster to fly your starship over an unexplored alien planet as you peer out of the cockpit at the view below. Reach into your backpack to grab your multitool, touch it to switch to terrain manipulation, and carve out intricate shapes with unprecedented control. Play in multiplayer and casually wave to your non-VR friends or fist bump your VR peers.”

Virtual reality support won’t be locked on the content introduced by Beyond but will work with the entire game and in all the different modes. You can check a new trailer with the release date below and look forward to even more stuff as Hello Games plans on supporting No Man’s Sky with even more add-ons.
