Was wondering when it was due... Ive not played it yet in pancake despite buying at launch. I have a feeling that's about to change.

Been waiting for this... NMS is installed and ready, but I haven't launched it yet. I intend to only ever play it in VR.

DK2, CV1, Go, Quest, Quest 2, Quest 3.

Not sure about VR Killer app due to the nature of the gameplay. Having invested 36 Hours into the 2D PC version and an equal number on PS4 the game is very much an acquired taste I'd say. That said, it could be as big as Minecraft for those who get drawn-in and an interesting aside for those who aren't.  On the plus side, I would liken this game to a more accessible Elite Dangerous type experience.

Meanwhile VR support will bring the entire game experience to life in virtual reality. Grab the joystick and thruster to fly your starship over an unexplored alien planet as you peer out of the cockpit at the view below. Reach into your backpack to grab your multitool, touch it to switch to terrain manipulation, and carve out intricate shapes with unprecedented control. Play in multiplayer and casually wave to your non-VR friends or fist bump your VR peers. Anything possible in No Man’s Sky, NEXT or any other update will soon be ready and waiting as an immersive and enriched VR experience.

If you want to know a little more about what to expect on August 14th, you can read a small preview from when we let press play for the first time.

“No Man’s Sky is the virtual reality game I have waited my entire life to play” – GamesRadar
“Murray hesitantly promoting the latest update to No Man’s Sky and us doing our best not to lose our cool. That, I’m afraid to say, is far easier said than done; No Man’s Sky is absolutely phenomenal when experienced in virtual reality. I’m sorry, Sean – this is where I cordially invite everybody to join me aboard the hype train, and there is no turning back this time.”

“No Man’s Sky feels like a totally different game in VR” – IGN
“I can’t really describe how it felt. Teetering just above the planet’s surface, it didn’t feel like No Man’s Sky anymore. It felt lonely, exciting, and honestly a little scary. That’s No Man’s Sky VR in a nutshell. Taking something you once knew and experiencing it in a completely different light.”

“No Man’s Sky VR brings personal scale to an endless galaxy” – PCGamesN
“Where many other VR games (with rare, excellent exceptions) have felt limited, the grandness inherent to No Man’s Sky rips those limitations apart”

“No Man’s Sky and VR are the perfect match” – PCGamer
“I spent fifteen minutes with No Man’s Sky VR, and it wasn’t nearly enough. Whatever voodoo is required to make a game feel just right in VR, Hello Games seems to have nailed it.”

“No Man’s Sky in VR feels like a whole new game” – The Verge
“I’ve played well over a hundred hours of No Man’s Sky since the game first debuted in 2016. I’ve touched down on countless planets, swam beneath alien oceans, and ran from a hostile robotic police force. But nothing I’ve done up until now has felt as thrilling as jumping into the cockpit of a ship, pulling down the glass enclosure with my hands, and pushing the throttle to blast off into the sky.”

“No Man’s Sky is absolutely stellar in VR” – Eurogamer
“It’s amazing, of course. There are few games better suited to the full immersion of virtual reality, and I’m delighted to say that, from my short experience: there’s that thrilling sense of being there, feet planted on some alien planet, scanning the horizons and getting drunk on the endless possibilities out there.”

“No Man’s Sky in VR is a blast” – Polygon
“This is VR at its most compelling, putting me in fantastical places and giving me viewpoints that I can never expect to attain in real life.”

“No Man’s Sky VR is the purest way to explore the universe” – Engadget
“If the goal of No Man’s Sky is to make players feel, full-stop — then VR is the best way to play. This sense of scale and immersion simply can’t translate on a 2D screen.”

“Hands-On: No Man’s Sky VR Is A World Of Limitless Possibilities” – UploadVR
“No Man’s Sky in VR is, without question, poised to immediately become the largest and most expansive VR game to date once the Beyond update releases.”

I'm still leaning towards "no buy" for me. But if some of you buy it and start giving rave reviews, I will likely cave! I look forward to reading everyone's feedback

A sensible approach although getting it on Sale for $24 instead of full price is a must. All signs so far suggest it's pretty decent judging by those quotes. I think it has been one of the most requested features since the game launched. Many people assumed it would have day one PSVR support which never materialised until now.

What exactly is it about ? If a D and D slasher then it's not for me. Maybe I should check a vid or 2
A PC with lots of gadgets inside and a thing to see in 3D that you put on your head.
