Anyway, onto what to expect from No Man’s Sky’s multiplayer.
What is No Man’s Sky multiplayer?
At any given time, there can be 36 players in one ‘game’, though this doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll come across anyone on your travels – space is huge, after all. However, you can bring three friends along with you in one party, which means you can actually see each other, interact, and explore to your heart’s content.
Essentially, you continue to play the game as you normally would, but you might be better equipped to tackle some tougher planets as a team. Or, you can just nominate someone as tribute in a sticky situation. Either way works.
How do I team up people for No Man’s Sky multiplayer?
It’s easy. Just complete the following steps:
- Fire up No Man’s Sky
- Go to options
- Select network
- Add friend
- Enter their name or select it from a preexisting list
