Hello Games has locked in a launch date for the Nintendo Switch version ofNo Man’s Sky. The studio is partnering with Bandai Namco Entertainment to bringNo Man’s Skyto Switch on May 23, 2025.
This version of Hello Games’ space exploration sim will be available both physically and on the Nintendo eShop. Those picking the game up will get all updates that have been added to the game so far (and therehave been a lot), plus all future updates.
