No Man's Sky: Waypoint Update Lets You Launch Rockets Into Space To Sell Items For You
No Man’s Sky’s big 4.0 update is called Waypoint, and it brings an enormous list of quality-of-life improvements to fans of one of the best space sims out there. There are new accessibility and difficulty options, more updated visuals, and a completely overhauled inventory system that massively increases your storage capacity. And of course, No Man’s Sky is out on the Nintendo Switch today with a few freebies for those new players that reach the Anomaly before November 7.
It’s the massive QOL overhaul that will be Waypoint's centerpiece. The new Custom Game Modes let you customize your No Man’s Sky experience to your personal preference, allowing you to increase or decrease settings for survival, crafting, ease of use, and combat. Dial up the space combat to be more frequent, or remove all fuel requirements for your items. The choice is yours.
