No Man's Sky developer Hello Games has detailed a significant update that will introduce a number of much requested features to the massive, sci-fi exploration game. Titled "Next," the update will be available for free for PS4, Xbox One, and PC players from July 24. Perhaps the biggest new addition is multiplayer, which allows players to team up with a small team of friends and explore the universe together, or be joined by random members of the community.

"You can help friends to stay alive, or prey on others to survive," the studio explains. "You can build tiny shelters or complex colonies that are shared for all players. Fight as a pirate or a wingman in epic space battles with friends and enemies. Race exocraft across weird alien terrains, creating race tracks and trails to share online. The character customisation allows you to personalise your appearance."
