We will be diving right in to the Waypoint update today and delivering our full verdict, including the all-important final score, as soon as we can.<\/p>\n<p><strong>original [Fri 7th Oct, 2022 17:00 BST]:<\/strong> After what feels like a long wait of cautious optimism and nerves, No Man&#8217;s Sky is finally out on Switch and Hello Games is introducing a new update to go alongside it.  While the update is set to go live on all previous consoles immediately, the team has pointed out that it may take a <em>little<\/em> longer in landing on Switch:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The Waypoint update is currently through certification with Nintendo and is awaiting release, which should be very soon and within the launch window.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Update 4.0, referred to as &#8216;Waypoint&#8217;, is set to bring a whole host of new features to the game from new mechanics and custom game modes to crafting trees and new asteroid variants.  All this is to say that the game is set to get a whole lot bigger.<\/p>\n<p>One of the newly introduced features that immediately caught our eye is Waypoint&#8217;s &#8216;Relaxed Mode&#8217;, which, as you may have guessed, works to make the game that little bit more relaxing.  This means that you will still be able to get the full No Man&#8217;s Sky experience, just without quite as much danger.<\/p>\n<p>Although we will have to wait for the update to be approved by Nintendo before we can get our hands on all of the new features, Waypoint also brings some Switch-specific rewards to the intergalactic table &#8211; so we <em>guess<\/em> we can forgive the delay.  Just by connecting to the No Man&#8217;s Sky servers before <strong>November 7th<\/strong>Switch users can redeem the Horizon Vector NX starship and Infinite Neon Mark XXII Multi-Tool as something of a post-launch gift.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-tweet\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" align=\"center\"><p><span lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Waypoint v4.0 \ud83d\udd2d<\/p>\n<p>\ud83e\udd2fSwitch<br \/>\ud83d\ude0eRelaxed Mode<br \/>\u2764\ufe0fOverhauled Inventories<br \/>\ud83d\udc89Revamped UI<br \/>\ud83e\ude90Improved Missions<br \/>\ud83d\udcaaTons of QoL<br \/>\ud83e\uddd1\u200d\ud83d\ude80Level Cap Increase<br \/>\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udd27Custom Game Mode<br \/>\ud83e\udd91Info Portal<br \/>\ud83c\udf20New Milestone System<br \/>\ud83e\uddbeIncreased Challenge<br \/>\ud83e\uddecCrafting Improved<br \/>\ud83d\udef0\ufe0fCommerce Shuttle<br \/>\ud83d\udc7dNew Collectibles<\/p>\n<p>Out Now <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QiHhUGSOX2\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/QiHhUGSOX2<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/span>\u2014 Sean Murray (@NoMansSky) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NoMansSky\/status\/1578369557575540736?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">October 7, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/aside>\n<p>There is a lot to unpack in the Waypoint update and the full list of patch notes can be found on the No Man&#8217;s Sky official site.
