No Man’s Sky overtakes GTA V to become the best-selling game on Steam

No Man’s Sky has just received a major update called NEXT, with a lot of improvements in this space exploration game. The update adds many of the features and changes that fans have been waiting for since the game’s release in 2016. Looks like the player count has increased a lot in No Man’s Sky, and it’s selling like hotcakes right now, surpasses even Grand Theft Auto V on Steam.

NEXT is the biggest update ever, so it’s not surprising that many people want to buy the game now. At the time of writing, No Man’s Sky is also being 50% off on Steam, so this is an opportunity for gamers to try the game without paying too much. But overcoming Grand Theft Auto V on Steam is no small feat. The only game better than the current Grand Theft Auto V, other than No Man’s Sky, is the pre-order of Monster Hunter: World.

No Man’s Sky received a lot of positive reviews on Steam after NEXT’s release, achieving a rating of “Very Positive”. However, No Man’s Sky needed a lot of positive reviews to make up for the negative reviews received when the game was first released. The game also received some positive reviews when Atlas Rises was released, but NEXT currently has the most positive reviews.

NEXT seems like a big step forward for No Man’s Sky. Developer Hello Games has said No Man’s Sky will have weekly community events and content to keep players engaged until the new update rolls out. If the new updates are of the same quality as NEXT, surely gamers will continue to experience this game.
