Developer Hello Games has revealed that over one million new players have joined No Man's Sky since it was added to Xbox Game Pass (and released for Windows 10 PC) last month.
In an article on Xbox Wire, the company enthused that the increase was "genuinely humbling" to see:
"This, together with our cross-play update, meant that we are seeing some of our biggest ever in-game numbers, all playing together regardless of their gaming platform. It is genuinely humbling, nearly two years after first releasing on Xbox One, that there are still so many people interested in exploring our universe."
Hello Games also highlighted yesterday's release of No Man's Sky: Desolation, which serves as the latest free update for the game. This brings improved combat as well as deeper space exploration, including new dangerous derelict freighters to investigate and a wealth of quality of life features and improvements.

I still haven’t played this game. It’s ridiculous hype & embarrassing PS4 launch told me to stay away. Plus I have a huge backlog.
I may give it a shot, at some point, bc they seemed to have worked at fixing the game’s issues & the updates have all been free (to my knowledge).
I stopped playing on Xbox after the beyond update because there was graphical glitches like textures not fully loading on creatures, plants and the environment. Creatures looked smooth with no detail and plants and rocks looked low res like clay, and the backpack in the menu became low res after a while, and creatures in the discovery menu were also missing detail. Only fix was saving the game then loading it back up, then it would happen again after visiting a few planets or systems. Bought the game on ps4 last year to see how that version looked and after seeing how much better it looked compared to Xbox like cracks in the ground actually looking like cracks on rocky planets and colours looking better and brighter I stopped playing it on both because it annoyed me.
On Xbox one X, haven't been able to get this working at all!
Just downloaded this a few days ago, and look forward to trying it out. It's a nice story that this game was able to redeem itself after the disaster of it's initial release.
