Look for a Planet to Claim as Their Own
Visiting your first planet is going to be great and all, but the main thing everyone is going to want to do is claim their own little place in the No Man’s Sky galaxy for themselves. With that in mind, players will be exploring the farthest reaches of the galaxy in search of a place that has yet to be discovered by any other player, so that they can call it their own and be known as the one to have discovered it. Of course, with the game having so much hype and popularity surrounding it even before it’s launched, just how easy this is going to be determines just how long we’re going to have to adventure for.
Regardless of how long it takes, everyone is going to want to be the first to discover a planet within their first few hours with the game. After all, who knows how many thousands of other players may stumble upon your poxy paradise in the middle of nowhere.
