Hello Games has launched a temporary 40% off flash sale for the game No Man's Sky on Steam in light of the recently released Foundation Update.

Right after the launch of the game many players considered the game to not be worthy of the €59.99 price tag, stating that it was a lacking experience for a premium price.

Earlier this week Hello Games launched a new update for the game after months of silence. Amongst other things, the new Foundation Update introduces various new features, including a Creative and Survival mode.

The new update also introduced minor changes such as teleporting to your home base, stackable items, terrain algorithm improvements and several new graphics settings, including motion blur and temporal anti-aliasing.

The new update does, however, not add the most requested features that were promised before the game launched, including multiplayer, faction space combat, travel between galaxies without loading screens, profession classes and complex crafting.
