How Updates Work In No Man’s Sky – A Guide for Noobs


It's update time, so I thought I'd post my "guide for noobs" on how this all works here on the subreddit.

There's nowhere really to watch, necessarily, other than this subreddit and Sean's Twitter (Twitter.com/NoMansSky).

It's actually a bit obnoxious, to be honest. Here's how it usually plays out:

Sean Murray will tweet a really vague, innocuous emoji or something. The tweet will be screenshotted and posted here a dozen or so times, usually with little to not accompanying context.

For the next ~3-4 days (depending on Sean's mercy), this subreddit will be literally nothing but an endless stream of screenshots of his post, other posts guessing (usually all guessing the same 3-4 things), memeing his post, with the occasional actually interesting conversational thread thrown in here and there for flavor.

Then the update will actually drop – Sean will tweet it, there will be coverage of it on all the big gaming/tech sites, on all the No Man's Sky social channels, etc. You won't be able to miss it.

Then the next ~1-2 days will be people coming onto the subreddit to ask if the update dropped, when it's going to drop, why hasn't it dropped yet, is this game worth jumping into, etc.

It's usually ~a week or two after a major update before this subreddit is tolerable again.

The mods do an admirable job trying to corral the crazy, but it's just an impossible task.

TL;DR – keep an eye on Sean Murray's Twitter account [it's (at)NoMansSky]. If/when he tweets something cryptic, unsub from this subreddit but keep an eye on his account or your favorite tech/gaming site. ~2 weeks after the update hits, it's safe to rejoin the subreddit.
