No Man’s Sky initially rose to fame for having an incredibly rough launch, but a few years on, and the game is in a better state than ever. If you’re wondering if the game supports cross platform play, you’ve come to the right place.

The first time most of us heard of No Man’s Sky, it was because it had an incredibly rough launch back in 2016. 

Since then though, Hello Games have been hard at work. The end result is a game that today, is one of the best space simulation games on the market.

Whether you play on PS4 or PC, it’s always better to group up with friends, which begs the question: is No Man’s Sky cross platform?
