Traverse the mysteries of space in the palm of your hands. Despite an initial summer release, No Man’s Sky hits the Nintendo Switch on October 7th, 2022, finally opening the door for Switch users to experience No Man’s Sky on-the-go. Game developer Hello Games announced the Nintendo Switch release of their titular title earlier today, showcasing a new trailer including all their latest updates for the upcoming release.

Sean Murray, Hello Games Founder and Co-creator of No Man’s Sky, showed off his excitement about the announcement on Twitter.

“…Honestly, the team is never happier when they try to do these new and impossible things.” Murray stated. “We’ve been updating No Man’s Sky for six years now, and every Switch player will benefit from that day 1. But we won’t stop there, there’s so much we want to do in the future…”
