No Man's Sky just received a hefty update on Nintendo Switch 2, coinciding with the settlement building-focused Beacons update. The differences on Switch 2 are pretty stark, with Nintendo players now able to experience No Man's Sky's full suite of multiplayer options, as well as other welcome additions like the ability to manage settlements.
Having played hundreds of hours of Hello Games' expansive sci-fi survival game, I'd dabbled with settlements in the past, but found the real time-tied missions to be difficult to consistently bother checking in on. That's all changed, as a new portable way to play the full game has now arrived.
