Hello Games released a new trailer today revealing the first look at multiplayer gameplay in No Man’s Sky. The new mode will be added to the limitless procedural universe across all platforms next week via the No Man’s Sky NEXT update, coinciding with the game’s launch on Xbox One on July 27th, in a publishing partnership with 505 Games for physical retail. With this launch, players will be able to explore, fight and survive with friends as they voyage across the vast celestial sandbox. Catch a glimpse of all the all-new experience here.
In its new multiplayer mode, players will be able to team up with a small group of friends to explore the universe together, or joined with random travellers online. Players can help friends stay alive, or prey on others to survive. Players will also be able to build shelter or complex colonies together to share with your team, fight as a pirate or a wingman in epic space battles with friends and enemies and race exocraft across weird alien terrains, creating race tracks and trails to share online.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
