Update: It seems No Man’s Sky Limited Edition boxes have a PEGI sticker on them which obscures a previously included ‘Online play’ icon.
Two spacefarers met each other yesterday in the vast 18 quintillion-planet universe of No Man’s Sky. Except they couldn t see each other or interact in any meaningful way. They moved around, set off explosives and neither of them saw any effect of the other. While this shouldn t be too much of a surprise, it is at least one aspect of the game that seems to totally contradict what the developers have previously promised.
