No Man's Sky is an adventure survival video game developed and published by Hello Games.

The latest game details for "No Man's Sky" will feature a patch update for the PC version and an Xbox One version in the works soon.

Hello Games launched their sci-fi space exploration game "No Man's Sky" for the PlayStation 4 console and recently in PC platform, however, PC users were quick to complain about the game as they noticed that the PC version is suffering from several in-game issues in terms of performance and some are not able to play the game at all.

It is due to the game engine and complex algorithms used in making "No Man’s Sky", finding the cause of the problems in the PC platform has been difficult for PC owners, and it appears that turning down the graphics settings to low or medium only partially improves the game’s performance.

Luckily, Hello Game's founder and game developer Sean Murray addressed gaming fans that a new patch update for "No Man's Sky" is in the works for the PC platform. The new patch addresses the jittery frame rate, fixes the inability to effectively alt-tab back into the game, and turns Gsync off by default. The patch ushers in improved AMD Phenom support, improved mouse performance and better performance on CPUs with less than four threads, PC Gamer reported.

In other news, its seems that a Xbox One version of "No Man's Sky" will likely in the worlds as Murray has decidedly coy about having the sci-fi game in console.

Murray told Daily Star that he needed to be "very specific with his words" and he was not sure if he was allowed say something regarding the Xbox One version of "No Man's Sky". Murray added that was more than happy to talk about the future possibilities that more powerful console hardware, such as the PS4 Neo, could have on the game.

Hello Games plans on having "No Man's Sky" to be procedurally generated. Meaning, more powerful hardware does not mean upgraded textures or a higher frame rate. It means they can fundamentally change the experience of what game is like in with better experience for the players.

Past reports revealed that a Mac version of "No Man's Sky" could be in the works sometime next year. Although gamers can install a window's program on their Mac computers to play "No Man's Sky", there is still a bit of hope that a Mac version could be in the works and gamers will have to wait for further announcements from Hello Games after they have launched, thus having several post launch plans.

"No Man's Sky" is currently available for the PS4 and PC platforms.
