No Man’s Sky is currently celebrating its 10th anniversary
No Man’s Sky may not have launched in the best state, but over the last decade, Sean Murray and his team at Hello Games have continued to update the title with new content and features to improve the overall experience.
During this time, the developer has also released the game on the Switch and Switch 2, and now to celebrate the game’s 10-year milestone, there is a new trial available for Switch Online members located in Europe. From 20th August until 26th August, you’ll be able to embark on an epic space voyage for free.
If you haven’t already played this game on Nintendo’s platforms, it’s a free upgrade for existing owners. As for the Switch 2 version, we described it in our review as an excellent and constantly evolving space survival adventure without any cuts or concessions.
“This really is No Man’s Sky without any constraints or excisions, cuts or concessions to tech that can’t keep up. And it’s a majestic thing, as you’ll likely know full well by now. The Beacon update adds more depth for those who want it in the base-building and management aspects, but at this stage, it really is all gravy.
“No Man’s Sky has long since become a must-play for fans of space survival adventures, and Switch 2 just got itself a bona fide banger of a port.”
In his anniversary message earlier this month, Sean Murray mentioned how there were “big things” on the way for the future No Man’s Sky, including the upcoming ‘Cosmos’ update.
You can see the current online trials and previous ones for each region in our guide here on Nintendo Life. Earlier this month the US got a trial for NBA 2K26.
