With the approaching October 4.0 update, the action-adventure survival game will receive its most-awaited update this year. This update, dubbed the "Endurance Update," is expected to add more customizable features to the sci-fi game. According to a recent Nintendo Life report, the game intends to be "fully focused" on its Switch release.
'No Man's Sky' 4.0 Endurance Update
"No Man's Sky" received its 3.94 update in July, which primarily focuses on overhauling freighters and fleets. According to a Tech Times report from the time, developers described this update as the biggest of the year, and the Endurance update is expected to completely overhaul the way certain freighters and fleets operate in the game.
The release of "No Man's Sky" Update 4.0 coincides with the release of a slew of massive Nintendo Switch game titles, including "Nier: Automata The End of YoRHa Edition," "Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope," "Bayonetta 3," and the heated Overwatch rework in "Overwatch 2."
The Nintendo Switch version of Hello Games' "No Man's Sky" is set to be released on October 7. As the aforementioned release date approaches, Hello Games' top executive, Sean Murray, stated in a recent tweet that the upcoming game would be "highly focused" on the Switch release rather than on any other platforms.
"2022 has already been one of our busiest years to date with Outlaws, Steam Deck, Sentinels, Switch, Mac OS, Leviathan, expeditions, and more," Sean Murray said in a recent tweet.
Also, according to Hello Games founder, an update focused on the Switch release is intended to introduce a new player demographic into the "No Man's Sky" community. Murphy assured its users that more game titles would be released following the release of the sci-fi adventure game .
