The only thing that might be able to rival the limitless majesty of outer space is the unprecedented number of game-changing patches No Man's Sky has issued since the intergalactic survival game released in 2016, turning initially middling reviews to raves. So it's unsurprising that, just over a month since Hello Games released its innovative Voyagers update, the developer is ready to keep expanding with the creepy new Breach update.
Breach is unequivocally a Halloween update and, as such, it explores how eerie the universe's infinite galaxies can be, with all their unknowable darkness. I think the update is a bit of an existential way to celebrate the fact that No Man's Sky hit an impressive 110,893 concurrent players a month ago according to SteamDB – that number is over half the game's all-time peak of 212,613, which it reached shortly after launch. But a gift marked with a skull and crossbones is still a gift.
