No Man’s Sky Is Having ‘Its Biggest Month’ And It Might Be Because Of Starfield

With Starfield’s recent launch, you’d think that Bethesda’s new single-player action-adventure game would steal the spotlight from other sci-fi themed titles. However, it looks like it’s done the exact opposite. In No Man’s Sky’s case, it’s actually helped entice new players to check out the sci-fi MMO.

Hello Games founder Sean Murray reported that No Man’s Sky saw a big uptick in its playerbase this month and there’s speculation that Starfield might have something to do with it. “Seven years in and No Man’s Sky is having its biggest month in the last few years across all platforms — PC, XBox, Gamepass, Switch, PlayStation, Mac, and VR. Welcome to the community,” Murray tweeted.

The recent rise in the game’s popularity could also be attributed to the recent release of the Echoes update, which added new adventure content and robotic aliens into the mix.
