Didn’t see any talk about this recently so I thought I’d share:

This game runs extremely well on Linux. Just downloaded it on SteamPlay on my Linux desktop (16GB RAM & GTX1060) and it ran perfectly out of the box, no tweaking required. I even feel like it’s running smoother than on Windows.

If you check ProtonDB some users have tweaks for it but in my case (Proton 6 on Steam play) nothing was needed.

This seems to come up in every thread about Expedition 12: Omega, the upcoming expedition and update that is currently in beta for PC players who want to test it out. Streamers have little else to do but speculate and spoil, so perhaps some of the anxiety comes from watching them, too.

There are separate teams for Hello Games projects. This happened with The Last Campfire – NMS continued to be updated both during its development and after its release. There’s no reason to think Light No Fire, despite being visually and possibly plot-wise more connected to NMS, is going to “take away” from NMS development and updates. “Omega” has meanings other than “the end” – the symbol is used in many ways in science and math. And does anything ever really end in No Man’s Sky, anyway?

Honestly, I don’t think anything other than the announcement of a direct sequel to NMS would be reason to be worried. But in that case, we’d be looking forward to a whole new chapter in the same universe anyway!

So, I was extremely hyped for Starfield, and also got the collector’s edition, but for real, it’s like it’s not the game that makes me happy.

I started playing No Man’s Sky again (after three years without playing) and oh man… I forgot how good this game is, and how much I enjoy its exploration features.

I never finished the story, and of course never left Euclid, so that’s even better because now I’ll be discovering new things and getting more involved into it (knowing glyphs, different types of planets and galaxies…)

It’s like Starfield made me feel like No Man’s Sky is what I really wanted to play, but never figured it out. It’s weird actually…

But yeah! I’m texting this while navigating through a night glowing planet, haha.
