title: No Man's Sky
text: On 25 November 2016 , Hello Games announced it was planning on bringing a large update , known as the Foundation Update , to the game , stating that `` We have been quiet , but we are listening and focusing on improving the game that our team loves and feels so passionately about . '' Hello Games had not mentioned a release window , and many journalists were surprised when the update was released just two days later . The update was generally well received by journalists , that while not fully satisfying all the features that seemed to have been promised for the game , helped to push the game into the right direction in anticipation of future major patches . The update had drawn back some players that had previously turned their back to the game and created a better reception across some players , while others still remained disappointed from the game 's initial release problems . By the time of the third major update , `` Atlas Rises '' , a year after initial release , many felt the game was now much better and approaching what they had expected . Wired 's Julie Muncy said that the ability of the updates to No Man 's Sky demonstrates the game can be more organic , adding significant new features that can dramatically change the feel of the game .
