Ever since Bethesda’s “Starfield” was released, the player community has been discussing how it compares to another space exploration game, “No Man’s Sky”, and the timing is perfect. What is surprising is that Hello Games CEO Sean Murry announced at this time that “No Man’s Sky” cross-platform set a new record for the number of players playing simultaneously in a single month in recent years. Just last weekend, Sean Murry was pleased to announce on the The highest monthly record happened to be in the first week following “Starry Sky” was launched. 7 years in and No Man’s Sky is having its biggest month in the last few years! ????Across all platforms – PC, XBox, Gamepass, Switch, PlayStation, Mac and VR ????Welcome to the community ❤️ pic.twitter.com/rNKMGFXoBS — Sean Murray (@NoMansSky) September 11, 2023 “No Man’s Sky” set a record of 212,321 simultaneous connections on Steam when it was released in 2016. Later, it was bombarded with negative reviews due to complaints from the community that the content did not match the promotion. After years of revisions and enhancements, , the 1.5 revised version “NEXT” in 2018 set a second-highest record of nearly 100,000 simultaneous calls. Of course, there is no direct evidence that the players added to “No Man’s Sky” came from “Starry Sky”. Although Murry did not reveal the actual numbers, judging from the Steam figures alone, the number of players who played “No Man’s Sky” did start to climb a week before “Starry Sky” was launched (when the advanced version started early access). “Starry Sky” has continued to grow since its launch, recently reaching a high level of 34,085 simultaneous calls. Although “Starry Sky” did not receive overwhelming negative reviews when it was launched like “No Man’s Sky”, many players still criticize Bethesda’s new space adventure game for being disappointing. Most of them have too many loading scenes and no seamless gameplay. There are issues such as a sense of exploration, difficulty in understanding the UI interface, and bugs. As of today (14th), “Starry Sky” has been officially released for two weeks. It has been slowly declining from the original extremely positive reviews on Steam, and now it has dropped to 77%, mostly positive reviews. Many negative reviews are roughly in line with Metacritic player reviews. “No Man’s Sky” has been enhanced through subsequent updates over the years, and finally came back from the dead to provide a seamless space adventure experience that satisfied most players, so much so that “Starry Sky” with a similar theme was highly anticipated in the early stages of promotion. However, what “Star Sky” ultimately brings is the original Bethesda style RPG, which is different from “No Man’s Sky” which focuses on seamless space open world and sandbox survival experience gameplay. In addition, “Star Sky” has too many scene loading problems. The system has become one of the many reasons for criticism from disappointed players.
