‘No Man’s Sky’ Could See Paid DLC In The Future

Briefly: In the short week since Hello Games’ highly anticipated No Man’s Sky hit store shelves, it’s quickly become one of the most talked about, loved, and hated properties across the entire internet.

Hello Games’ lead Sean Murray said that he expected the game to be divisive, but I don’t know it’d have been possible to guess just how divisive it’s become. Our own Emily is in love with the game, and I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my time in the universe thus far. That said, Reddit is filled with countless links and breakdowns explaining all of the ways that NMS disappoints, and all of the promises that Hello Games’ have broken along the way.

No Man’s Sky was always a game that was set to receive a myriad of updates, as Murray wants the game to be viewed similar to Minecraft or Don’t Starve in that manner. In a new interview with DailyStar, Murray notes that he was “perhaps naive” for thinking that all of No Man’s Sky‘s DLC would be free.

While the next update will add “the ability to build bases and own giant space freighters”, Murray and company are already looking forward, and on the topic of paid DLC, he noted that “Maybe in the future there’s some reason why we just couldn’t possibly afford to do a certain feature without charging for it”.

The interview goes on about the possibility about seeing the game on Xbox One, how the PS4 Neo could change the experience entirely, and more, and it’s definitely worth a read.
