Probably a new expedition is coming out soon too. Those expeditions bring me back to the game again and again, otherwise I don't really know what to do in NMS after finishing the quest lines.
This game is one of the shining examples of game support, after such a rough start No Man's Sky has completely changed and very much overdelivered on everything. And it still performs awesomely well on Deck.
I guess they said it somewhere, but all the updates seem to be "tests" for their new game "Light No Fire". Like, let's test new weather effects... and backport it to No Man's Sky. Or let's test fishing mechanics, and put it into No Man's Sky... etc.

Is this game worth buying now? I see it is on sale right now, but 60$ seems steep for a game from 2016. SD verified is a huge plus though!It's been well worth buying for about five years or more, tbh. Incredible amount of content. I've had 130 hours since about 2019 or so and I haven't played in 3 years!! It's still commonly streamed too, which is incredible.
