This morning, many folks had a reason to go back to No Man’s Sky, thanks to the Foundation Update. The patch notes for the update are extensive and can be viewed here.

Some highlights included in this update, which Hello Games claims will be the first of many, are three new game modes. There’s a Normal Mode,  a Creative Mode which includes base building, and a Survival Mode. Additional changes include UI tweaks and additional NPC characters.

It has been a tumultuous three months for Hello Games since No Man’s Sky been launched. If the following tweet from Sean Murray is any indication, it appears this patch is a big deal for them.

Hoping that this update means that Hello Games have turned the corner and more good things are coming.
