So it seems highly likely that the No Man’s Sky PS VR2 update will launch alongside the headset on February 22nd next year.

When Hello Games first announced the PS VR2 update for No Man’s Sky, founder Sean Murray said that the new hardware will take the sense of immersion and believability up by several notches.

The power of PlayStation 5, coupled with the all-new PlayStation VR2 hardware, including the new Sense controllers, combine to take that sense of immersion and believability up by several major notches.
