It was five years ago that No Man’s Sky launched with no multiplayer, missing features, and an abundance of bugs, which drew a lot of flak from the game’s community. British indie developer Hello Games, however, stood by their game and continued to roll out fixes and updates until criticisms ultimately turned into praises. The community even had a billboard made to thank the developers for all their hard work.

Now the game is celebrating its 5th anniversary and the team says that the game’s player base is at its strongest in the last five years.

“Over the last five years No Man’s Sky has realised a shared dream we had of creating a game where you could explore an infinite universe, where every planet was undiscovered and unexplored,” said Sean Murray, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Hello Games. “I’m glad that we’ve been able to share that dream with players, but even more glad that, five years on, we continue to be excited about finding new and innovative things to build on from what we’ve already achieved.”

Hello Games is marking the occasion with a retrospective trailer that gives the community a look at how much the game has changed over the past five years. The team also teased the next update coming to the game called Frontiers. Details on that coming very soon.
