I hope not otherwise it's BS, there is no reason to delay the PC version .
Hopefully, this is just a misunderstanding .

Silly question. I've never purchased a PS4 game digitally, this will be my first one and was wondering if it'll be available on the PSN store at midnight my time (EST) or when the PSN store usually updates? I can't wait to get lost in this game. Sooo excited.

Yea, or hopefully at least we can VPN it so we dont get screwed a few days in different regions.
It's on Steam so you could just play two hours and refund it if it's not your thing. No official word on a demo though, but I wouldn't count on it, at least not for a while.

i'm still getting Aug 9 on my steam store page so....
Midnight,really like 5-10 minutes after midnight.
That's kind of where I'm at too. There is some chance that it may not come together, but even if that's the case, it is certain that at the least we are getting a massive universe simulator full of incredibly beautiful scenery. I can appreciate it for the scale, ambition, and underlying tech even if the game itself isn't great - and for me that's almost worth the price of admission alone.

I've never seen it not be available the instant it hits midnight.

I really hope we'll get to see planets with as many creatures co-existing on-screen as the E3 2014 trailer. We haven't really seen anything like this, with this many creatures on-screen at once, since this trailer.

Still shows 8/9 for me, in the USA, as of 11:10AM EST 7/25/2016

Which is in line with what Sean had said at some point in the past - simultaneous release between platforms. I'm assuming that the PC date on their website is simply a mistake. Steam still says August 9th for me (in the US).

And why would I want them?
Is there any footage out there of this running on a PC with max settings? I actually had no idea this was coming out on PC. Thought it was a PS4 exclusive. I'm out of the loop big time.

Is the same for the PS4 version. day 9 in US, day 10 in Europe, day 12 in UK and rest of the world.

Maybe it's just an issue of communicating the updated release dates proper? I mean, PSN only JUST updated to the August 9th date like 2 weeks ago LOL
Says August 10th on PSN too https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/games/no-mans-sky-ps4/
Seems to say August 12th on UK Steam though http://store.steampowered.com/app/275850/
Which is correct? The confusion is real!

Do we know how this game runs on PC yet? i'm torn whether to get it on PC or PS4.

Yup. If it's a pre-load supported title, they're always available at 9 pm PT/Midnight ET.
It is the game's dependent upon PSN updating tuesday mornings that are an inconsistent shitshow

Remember - Hello Games is self-publishing for the most part and they are a smallish Indie company.
So, trying to organize a simultaneous worldwide release on two platforms with multiple localizations can't be that simple.
If they pull it off, great. If it gets delayed an couple extras days, so be it.
We're in the home stretch now. We're talking days, not months.

Great post - I have probably got 10-15 hours entertainment out of the last 2-3 years just following NMS threads, videos, and wild speculation!
It'll be interesting to see what the game considers to be "complete" as far as earning trophies goes.
Gold Trophy: "My God, it's full of stars" Land on every single one of the 14 edit: 18 Quintillion planets in the game.

18* 😉

You're 4 quintillion out there
it's 18.I imagine the trophies may be along the lines of
- Discover 200 animals
- Discover 100 planets
- Find 50 blueprints
- Make 50 items from blueprints
- Spend 5 hours flying in space
Stuff like that? Either way I plan on playing so much that if they're not difficult trophies, just time-consuming ones, I should get them all.
Humblebundle says 9th...
https://www.humblebundle.com/store/no-mans-sky
This is all very confusing, I think we need confirmation from them to clear this all up.
They usually announce the exact times by timezone in the few days before it goes live. Sometimes it can be a real pain in the ass and you technically get the game the day after.
Humble Bundle probably distributes US keys worldwide here.
It's a really hard game to find deals for. I guess Hello Games are A) So small they don't have time to go for huge CD key distribution or deals (e.g. with graphics cards) and B) Need money so probably don't want to diminish the value of their game.

Funny enough this is actually the first thing I plan to do. I want to see if your ship gets heat damage or if it's possible to crash into a star.
Ok but then why does the official about page say 'PC worldwide on August 12th"'
http://www.no-mans-sky.com/about/
There's conflicting information all over the place.
Makes sense. I might get the physical PS4 version after all as that seems to be a bit cheaper and the game won't require PS+ to play online, I just got used to looking at Steam preorder deals since they are usually the cheaper ones.
Vincent Grayson

No, that's the only conflicting information. The store dates are correct.
Someone fucked up the sentence, because it pretty clearly should read "Coming to PS4 and PC on August 9th in North America, August 10th in Europe, and worldwide on August 12th." based on literally every single other piece of information available, including the formally announced dates when it was delayed.
Now you mention it that sentence is pretty broken, guess I'll be using a VPN for unlock if they screw everyone outside US as usual.
No, that is only a bronze trophy.

Perfection.
And you just gave me the perfect idea. Playing Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, etc., on Spotify while in this game.
Definitely. I'm double dipping because I want to support Hello, but PS4 will definitely be cheaper if you trade in a game to subsidise it. On top of that, if you find a local mom 'n' pop store, they might stock and sell the game early (I plan on picking it up the Saturday before launch).
