No Man’s Sky returns to Steam Top 100, as players swarm for massive Worlds Part 1 update

As a long-time gamer and space exploration enthusiast, I’ve been closely following No Man’s Sky since its rocky launch back in 2016. I remember feeling let down by the initial product, but I’ve always held on to the hope that Hello Games would eventually turn it around. And now, with the recent release of the Worlds Part 1 update, I can confidently say that No Man’s Sky has surpassed my wildest expectations.


As a gamer, I’m thrilled to be part of No Man’s Sky’s remarkable comeback story. The latest patch is just another proof of Hello Games’ commitment to delivering more spacefaring content to this vast universe. And the best part? It’s free! With the introduction of Worlds Part 1, the hype is real, and it shows – No Man’s Sky has made its way back into Steam’s Top 100 most played games once again.

Despite currently ranking 91st on Steam’s list, No Man’s Sky is expected to climb higher due to the recent update. In just the time it took to write this, its position had already improved by nine places from its initial spot of 100. This upward trend is likely to continue as more players re-engage with the game, especially since No Man’s Sky has been a popular topic on X (previously known as Twitter).

After the release of Hello Games’ update for No Man’s Sky on Steam, there has been a significant increase in positive reviews. As anticipated, many players have praised the developers for their continuous efforts to add new content, even after the initial criticism. The recent wave of compliments is not surprising as the Worlds Part 1 update has provided players with additional content and made each planet feel more vibrant and dynamic.

If you haven’t tried No Man’s Sky yet, you’ll first need to buy the main game to gain access to the new content. Luckily, it’s currently 60% off on Steam, making this an ideal moment to include it in your collection. Xbox Game Pass subscribers can also access it directly. If you’re already a player, remember to back up your save files to prevent data loss after the update.
