In the (hopefully) very distant future when the game’s server shuts down like they always seem to will the game be playable offline?

Hey all! I last played No Man’s Sky when the Next update was fresh. Back then I had a lot of free time to put into the game, but it always felt like it was a game that you could play casually and still have fun.

Nowadays grad school has stolen the majority of my free time, and most of my regular games are so overwhelmingly large it never feels like I can play for an hour or two per day and still have a decent time. That being said, I’m looking for a new main game that’s more compatible with my hell schedule. Is NMS a game that could fit that bill, or should I continue my search? Thanks in advance for your time and consideration!! 💚
