'No Man's Sky' Xbox, Mac release date update, rumors: Game to extend outside of PlayStation console, to have Xbox One and Mac versions?

Hello Games' latest game title, "No Man's Sky," has been launched recently on PlayStation 4 and PC platforms. However, there are speculations that the game developer company will soon expand the scope of their game and go outside the PlayStation console. While there is no official announcement yet, the rumors are rife that Hello Games will be releasing an Xbox One version of the video game soon.

In an interview with the Daily Star, Hello Games executive and game producer Sean Murray revealed that the company may have plans to release versions of "No Man's Sky" outside of Sony's PlayStation label. However, he emphasized that he needed to be very specific with his statements regarding a possible Xbox One version. After all, Hello Games just had a deal with Sony in the marketing of "No Man's Sky," and Murray was not sure if he is allowed to reveal details regarding the matter.

Aside from the Xbox One version, there are also rumors that "No Man's Sky" will also have a special version for the Mac computers. According to Yibada, there is a possibility that Hello Games will develop a Mac version of "No Man's Sky" and release it along with the Xbox One version sometime next year. For now, Mac users can install a program on their computers to execute Windows application and play "No Man's Sky," although the entirety of the game's features in Mac computers might not be explored without having a special version exclusive for the device.

Meanwhile, Hello Games continue to focus on their successful game offering by providing regular free updates. "No Man's Sky" may have been met with positive feedback from the gaming community upon its release, but even its quintillions of stars and planets may not be enough to capture the players' interest for a longer time. Thus, Hello Games continue to expand the game by adding free contents.

"What matters now, as always, is what we do rather than what we say. We're developers, and our focus is first on resolving any issues people have with the game as it is, then in future free updates which will improve, expand and build on the No Man's Sky universe," Hello Games stated in a blog post.
