GamesRadar+: No Man’s Sky continues to push boundaries, six years after its launch, and performs fantastically on PC, PS5, and Xbox Collection X. What was it concerning the Nintendo Change that attracted Hiya Video games’ consideration?
Sean Murray: From a growth standpoint, I’ve an actual appreciation for the Change. It’s extra spectacular than lots of people notice as a tool, and also you’re seeing that mirrored within the varieties of titles which might be popping out. And I actually have a deeper appreciation for Change than I did just a few years in the past, earlier than this mission began – it’s been an actual studying curve.
However to inform you the reality, after we began bringing No Man’s Sky to Change I assumed it wouldn’t be attainable. Some members of the crew wished to strive it, and have been excited to strive, however I used to be all the time a bit skeptical. I additionally wasn’t certain whether or not No Man’s Sky can be nicely suited to cell, pick-up-and-play gaming. I play a whole lot of long-form video games on Change – The Witcher 3, Diablo 3, video games like that – however I don’t know if different folks do. So I used to be all the time like, nicely, let’s simply see how this goes.
One thing that was actually eye opening for me was the Steam Deck launch. I used to be skeptical of that too, as I didn’t know whether or not No Man’s Sky would swimsuit it. And we’ve been actually stunned to see that it’s been one of many prime titles on the platform for the final six months, which is above the place we’d be on Steam usually. It looks like folks like No Man’s Sky on there, and that it’s fairly well-suited to cell, handheld gadgets. It’s been good to see that response.
