No Mans Sky Crossplay June 11 GamePass

No Man’s Sky is coming to Xbox Game Pass on Windows 10 (PC) and Xbox One tomorrow, but not only that – the game is getting full crossplay across all platforms at the same time.

Whether you’re on Steam, Windows 10, PlayStation 4 or Xbox, starting tomorrow No Man’s Sky players will all be able to explore the universe together. The team have created a new friends system allowing you to invite friends from other platforms to your game.

The game will also now feature a range of other improvements including a visible full player body in VR, alongside speech to text support and improvements to online lobbies and groups.
