No Man’s Sky Waypoint update out now on Switch (version 4.0)
No Man’s Sky players on Switch now have access to a new version 4.0 update known as Waypoint, which comes just a few days after the game’s launch on Nintendo’s console.
The update includes “an overhaul of design and balance, including inventories, milestones, cataloging and game modes.” Additionally, it contains “hundreds of community-favorite quality of life improvements, both macro and micro.” As another bonus for Switch players, we’re hearing that touchscreen use is now enabled.
Hello Games has mentioned that there’s been an overhaul to inventories. Ships, weapons, and players will have a big level cap increase going forward. It’s also now possible for survival, crafting, combat, and controls to be customized.
Another addition is Relaxed Mode, which focuses on sandbox exploration. Returning players will also find an information portal with a summary of their goals and progress.
Capping off everything else is a new milestone system, new collectibles, and improved mission content with long term goals and challenge.
