No Man's Sky goes 5.0 with a sweeping tech update that's 'adding things the community has almost given up hope on ever happening'

At this point, I think No Man's Sky might be the most developed non-MMO in history.

The latest one? Worlds Part 1, or No Man's Sky 5.0. The patch notes have just gone live, and it's set to make the galaxy prettier than it's ever been before. Introducing "new technology, new flora, new fauna and new gameplay," Hello Games says it's installed a whole bunch of highfalutin new graphics tech to make the universe sizzle like never before. "I think we’re adding things the community has almost given up hope on ever happening," says Hello boss Sean Murray.
