Just a few days ago, Hello Games founder Sean Murray appeared on an episode of Inside Xbox to reveal the Xbox One release date of the action-adventure survival title No Man's Sky, while also providing an overview of details related to the game's forthcoming multiplayer features. During the discussion, Murray promised that the development team will continue to work on updates to the game in order to ensure a high benchmark of quality control will be preserved in the future.

As explained by Murray, Hello Games plans to put out a stream of "solid content" for No Man's Sky, but the studio has decided to only share them openly with the public if it is sure that nothing will be changed within the updates prior to their release. With this being the case, Murray had no actual examples to give in regards to a "roadmap" of content to come due to the studio still being in the process of developing the forthcoming assets.

"There’s a real hunger in the community to know everything we’re doing and have a complete roadmap and stuff like that. Hopefully, you know, we will reward their patience of not having much info with just good, solid content. And we only like to talk about things when they are right."

Hello Games' decision to only publicly reveal information regarding what's on the way for No Man's Sky's updates is surely something that the studio has learned in regards to the way in which Murray previously promoted the action-adventure title ahead of its launch on PC and PlayStation 4. As some may recall, No Man's Sky was initially one of the most highly anticipated games for the platforms, but that excitement dissipated when the space exploration project launched, with players discovering the final release was missing key features discussed and promoted for months.

This, in turn, led to an actual investigation by the Advertising Standards Authority as to whether or not the Steam store page for No Man's Sky included assets that many believe misrepresented the game. Although the ASA eventually declared that Hello Games didn't use deceptive promotional practices, the community flooded the game's Steam user reviews with "overwhelmingly negative" feedback. As of writing, the title is still stuck with "mostly negative" criticism on Valve's digital distribution platform.

Taking everything into consideration, one can only hope that No Man's Sky fans looking forward to the game's launch on Xbox One and its forthcoming updates for the preexisting PC and PlayStation 4 versions receive the care and attention they deserve. After all, when No Man's Sky launched a couple of years ago, many considered it to be one of the most disappointing games of 2016, and it would be a shame if the title's promising future is marred by further mistakes.

No Man's Sky is available now for PC and PlayStation 4, and is set to launch on July 24, 2018 for Xbox One.
