Hello Games announced that its long-running sci-fi exploration game will be coming to iOS, with versions for both the iPhone and iPad available starting on October 28th.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">According to Hello\u2019s Sean Murray, the mobile version of the game is essentially the full <em>No Man\u2019s Sky<\/em> experience. \u201cI guess I should say this is not <em>No Man\u2019s Sky<\/em> Lite,\u201d he wrote in a blog post. It includes all of the game\u2019s many, many updates that have come out since launch \u2014 like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/games\/766565\/where-we-dropping\">the gigantic Voyagers expansion<\/a> from last year \u2014 and the only major features missing will be multiplayer and the planetary settlements. Murray likens the iOS version to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/10\/3\/23380392\/no-mans-sky-switch-launch-interview-sean-murray-4-0-update\">when the game initially launched on the original Switch<\/a>. \u201cOn Switch we have listened to players and built from there, including with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/678957\/no-mans-sky-switch-2-launch-update\">a much expanded version on Switch 2<\/a>,\u201d he says. \u201cBased on feedback and player numbers we will support iOS in a similar way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--block-placement _1xorkac1 _1xorkac0 duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--related _1044qizj xfenh40\">\n<h3 class=\"xfenh43 xfenh41\">Related<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"xfenh45\">\n<li class=\"xfenh48 xfenh46\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2016\/8\/12\/12454434\/no-mans-sky-diaries\" class=\"xfenh49\">The No Man\u2019s Sky travel diaries<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The game will be playable on the iPhone 11 and 3rd generation iPad Air and above, and the studio says that the download comes in at a surprisingly scant 5GB. It also has newly-designed touch controls, as well as support for controllers, screen casting, and mouse-and-keyboard on the iPad. Murray also notes that \u201cPerhaps most importantly we\u2019ve put tons of work into battery life and thermodynamics, and we\u2019re super proud that <em>No Man\u2019s Sky<\/em> can be enjoyed for really long comfortable play sessions.\u201d It\u2019ll be \u201cfree to try\u201d at launch, though it\u2019s not clear how much the full version will cost.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">It\u2019s now been a decade since <em>No Man\u2019s Sky<\/em> first launched, and the game has changed dramatically since its debut. iOS will be joining a huge list of supported platforms, including Mac, PC, and essentially every modern console, and there\u2019s also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/23618811\/psvr-2-no-mans-sky-hands-on\">a VR version available<\/a>. Just as significant, Hello has continued to keep the game vibrant with a constant stream of free expansions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomanssky.com\/2026\/09\/no-mans-sky-cosmos\/\">including the recent Cosmos update in September<\/a>, which fleshed out the vast expanse of space with more things to explore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tly2fw0\"><span class=\"tly2fw2\"><strong>Follow topics and
