PlayStation Virtual Reality
PSVR owners can continue to experience No Man’s Sky in Virtual Reality on PlayStation 5 via the backwards compatibility functionality.

Improved Warp and Start-Up Speed
On all next generation hardware, use your Hyperdrive or the ancient Portal network to warp between systems more rapidly than ever, with warp speeds up to ten times faster than on current-generation consoles.
Embark on a new adventure or continue an existing journey with incredible load times.
