No Man's Sky Lands on iPhone and iPad October 28
Hello Games opens preorders for the mobile port, which runs on devices as old as the iPhone 11 and ships in under 5 GB.
Hello Games announced that No Man's Sky is coming to iPhone and iPad on October 28, with preorders for the mobile version open now. The game will cost $19.99, and a free trial option will be available, according to polygon.com.
The port includes all updates released over the past decade, including the Cosmos DLC. It runs on devices as old as the iPhone 11 and the third-generation iPad Air, and the entire game comes in at under 5 GB.
Hello Games has built the mobile version around full touch controls, redesigned menus, controller support, and mouse and keyboard support on iPad. Two features are missing from this version: settlements and multiplayer.
A port three years in the making
Development of the mobile port began roughly three years ago, around the same time as the Mac port. A Mac version of No Man's Sky was released in 2023, and the game itself launched 10 years ago.
Hello Games' next project, Light No Fire, was announced at the 2023 Game Awards and does not have a release date yet. The game's Voyagers update was developed using technology from Light No Fire.
