In addition, the latest patch optimizes light shafts, allowing the developer to enable them on PS4. The issues with Steam controller prompts are also addressed.

There are some minor performance optimizations and some rare crashes and freezes that were addressed, however, the patch notes did not mention any details. The full notes can be accessed via the game's official website.

The previous "No Man's Sky" update is Patch 1.23 for both PS4 and PC. It brought fixes to some issues with the game's Pathfinder expansion, however it appears that there are still issues that remains unaddressed.

The Pathfinder update added a new Permadeath mode, which means that it's game over for players if they lose life. It also added new land vehicles, allowing players a new approach to explore the planets.

It brought PS4 Pro support, base sharing, graphics improvements and new guns and ship/weapon specialization. The vehicles can now be summoned from anywhere with the Exocraft Geobays crafted on any planet.

The Update 1.23 was primarily based on feedback from players. It included the new option to lock the PS4's framerate to bring stability to the game.

"No Man's Sky"is an action-adventure survival video game that is currently available for PS4, PS4 Pro and PC. The game developer got an Innovation Awards at GDC. Sean Murray, founder of Hello Games, also delivered a talk at the event, teaching attendees on how to generate a planet, populate it and render it a unique looking one.
