La actualización de los Viajeros en No Man's Sky dispara el número récord de jugadores

No Man’s Sky's latest free Voyagers update is soaring in popularity, drawing the largest player count since the game's initial launch in 2016.

Sean Murray from Hello Games highlighted this milestone on X/Twitter, sharing a screenshot that marked 97,986 concurrent players at the time. He captioned it, "Highest number of players since launch," followed by a mind-blown emoji.

Since that post, the peak has climbed even higher, with Steam reporting a 24-hour peak of 98,285 simultaneous players.

No Man’s Sky is an exploration and survival game set in a boundless universe. The Voyagers update introduces a substantial set of features that the Hello Games team has been developing. Key additions include the new Corvette Ship Class, the ability to form a multiplayer crew, along with sky diving, redesigned cockpits, a fresh expedition, mission radar, and more.

A new experimental build has also just been released on PC, bringing further fixes and enhancements.

No Man's Sky isn't the only title experiencing a player surge this week. While Hollow Knight has maintained a stable player base over the past six months, the announcement of Hollow Knight: Silksong's release date—September 4!—has sparked enough interest and nostalgia to essentially double its usual player count overnight. This surge shattered the previous concurrent player record set in March 2022, a remarkable feat for a game originally released in 2017.
