Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 15:19 · Archive

Hello Games is bringing its space exploration game No Man's Sky to iPhone and iPad on October 28.

Hello Games is bringing No Man's Sky to iPhone and iPad on October 28. Pre-orders are available now, with the game free to try at launch.

Studio co-founder Sean Murray said the iOS version is 'not No Man's Sky Lite', containing all major updates released over the past decade, including the Voyagers expansion. Multiplayer and planetary settlements will not be available at the outset, mirroring the initial Nintendo Switch release. However, Hello Games eventually added these features to the Switch 2 version. Murray said the studio will 'support iOS in a similar way' based on feedback and player numbers.

The iOS port runs on iPhone 11 and above or iPad Air third generation and above, with a file size under 5GB. It features rebuilt touch controls, TV casting support, and works with controllers or keyboard and mouse on iPad. Murray highlighted the team's focus on battery life and thermal performance, describing the game as suitable for 'really long comfortable play sessions' on mobile devices.
