No Man Sky's free PSVR2 update is coming on launch day next year

When Sony unveiled release details for PSVR2 earlier this month, it only confirmed two launch day titles – Horizon: Call of the Mountain and Quest 2 port Cities VR: Enhanced Edition. However, it turns out No Man’s Sky fans also have something to look forward to, with Hello Games confirming to Eurogamer that its previously announced PSVR2 update will be arriving alongside Sony’s new hardware on 22nd February next year.

Hello Games revealed a PSVR2 update for No Man’s Sky was in the works back in June, teasing an enhanced VR experience that would utilise the power of PlayStation 5, PSVR2, and its new Sense controllers to build on the game’s 2019 VR implementation, and “take that sense of immersion and believability up by several major notches.”

Evidence that PSVR2 owners wouldn’t have to wait long for No Man’s Sky’s promised VR upgrade first surfaced earlier this week when sharp-eyed PS5 Store users (by which I mean Eurogamer’s resident VR aficionado Ian Higton) spotted an updated description on Hello Games’ PSVR2 reveal trailer, pointing to a February 2022 release.
