It?s no secret No Man?s Sky got off to a rough start at launch. This led to developer Hello Games hunkering down, maintaining radio silence for several months, then returning with a massive update. Since then, it?s been off to the races. No Man?s Sky continues to experience success after success, as new content still generates excitement. Hello Games? continued support of the title has no doubt increased its audience. The support keeps players around for longer periods of time, too. According to Creative Director Sean Murray, the average player?s playtime in No Man?s Sky has pretty much doubled since its summer 2016 release.
Murray touched on the average playtime during a recent interview with PCGamesN. Apparently, the typical person only put 25 hours of playtime into No Man?s Sky during the launch period. The average takes into consideration those who only played for about an hour or so on average, as well as players who explored the game world for more than 50 hours. Murray explained,
