No Man's Sky PC Players Dropped by 90% in Two Weeks

Does not reflect users playing on PS4.

By Lucy O'Brien

The No Man's Sky user-base has dropped significantly on PC since its launch two weeks ago.

According to SteamSpy's statistics, there were a little above 20,000 players in No Man's Sky's PC world this week, down from approximately 212,000 at launch. Take note that these numbers aren't the total number of users playing No Man's Sky on PC, rather, the number of users playing simultaneously. 

While player drop-off is by no means unusual for a new release game with major hype behind it, such an extreme drop-off in such a short space of time might raise some eyebrows (The Division on PC, for example, had an 81% drop-off a little less than two months after launch). However, these numbers do not reflect users playing PlayStation 4.

For those still playing No Man's Sky on PC, here are 9 mods that make it better. Still on the fence about picking it up? Here's our review.
