No Man's Sky might hinge on the online experiences of its players, but its PS4 players won't require the usual online subscription to play.
As confirmed by Game Informer, a Sony statement said “PS Plus won’t be a requirement to play online, however you will need to be connected to the internet for your discoveries to register with the universal atlas”.
This is likely down to the fact that while players are technically sharing the game's universe, and could run into one another, No Man's Sky's 18 quintillion possible locations makes the chances of such an encounter (to wheel out an understatement) statistically improbable.
That makes the game's only likely online interaction the mapping and naming of said locations, something which Sony clearly deems single player-y enough an activity to waive the necessity of PS Plus (which is required to access the online multiplayer features of most other games on the console).
After years of teases and questions, the time's almost here for us to actually play the thing, too. No Man's Sky has gone gold, and will be out on August 9 in North America and August 10 in Europe and Australia.
Joe Skrebels is IGN's UK News Editor, and the first thing he'll want to do in No Man's Sky is make a dinosaur species extinct. The first thing he will actually do is crash his ship into a moon. Follow him on Twitter.
