The PC version of "No Man's Sky" has just received a surprise update with many improvements including bug fixes. Patch 1.13 can be downloaded via Steam with bugs that affected the gameplay, namely the space battles, are fixed.
The new update now provides more variety to space battles, so players will be experiencing even bigger conflicts than before. This will help bring it online with the battles that were seen in the game's early trailers. It should be worth noting that Hello Games, the game's developer, was actually investigated by the Advertising Standards Authority because of this.
A statement on the ASA's website revealed that Hello Games was cleared by the organization of any wrongdoing, but the improvements made to the space battles should be more than enough to make fans happy. Some of the most notable fixes in the recent patch update include the removal of duplicate planets on the screen menu, fixing a bug that would turn the player's character small, and the removal of the keyboard arrow buttons as quick menu navigation keys to make it easier for left-handed players to move around while using the navigation menu.
The updates also couldn't have come at a much better time because "Astroneer" has a release date for the PC and Xbox One, which could bring about some competition for "No Man's Sky." "Astroneer" was first revealed back in 2015 and sees players assume the role of a prospector who must travel to faraway planets to seek some adventure and fortune.
Players have the option of reshaping the diverse worlds of "Astroneer" using special in-game tools. One of the major differences between "Astroneer" and "No Man's Sky" is that the former has an online co-op mode featuring up to four players. According to System Era, the co-op mode of "Astroneer" is something that they are "absolutely committed to."
According to the Express, the first playable build of "Astroneer" will be available for both Windows PC and Xbox One on December 16. Steam will also make the build available on the same day.
