Oh, and there’s been a big visual update too
Space exploring simNo Man’s Skyis now letting you get off the ground, and not just in your ships anymore. You’re now able to tame and ride low-flying space creatures. Take a gander at that silly flying space squid and tell me you don’t want to hop on one right now. Hello Games have also made a pretty sizable visual update to the universe, but I’m honestly just excited about flying ten feet off the ground on my weirdest new pals. How silly and rad.
No Man’s Skyadded the ability toride planetary crittersquite a while ago, but you can now ride even more of them. “Low-flying creatures, such as giant beetles, flying worms, and huge butterflies, can now be adopted as your companion,” Hello Games say.

As ever with No Man’s Sky, your mileage may vary depending on what planets you wind up on and the kind of critters that live there. Still though, I think it’s pretty neat. It’s another entry on the long list of things that make me want to get back into No Man’s Sky, if only I weren’t so afraid it would swallow my evenings whole.
Oh right, and there’s that visual update too which you can spot in the trailer. There’s now more volumetric lighting, more reflections, more warp effects, more stars visible in the sky, and all sorts of other things to make space just a little bit fancier. Back to animals once again, a bunch of them now have fur as well.
