After a 10-year redemption arc, No Man's Sky is coming to the iPhone and iPad
Just over 10 years after its initial release, space exploration and survival crafting game *No Man's Sky* is making its way to the iPhone and iPad, Apple and developer Hello Games announced today.
It will run on devices as far back as the iPhone 11 and the third-generation iPad Air. *No Man's Sky* might not have the most cutting-edge AAA graphics (though they're still strong, and they've come a long way since launch via updates), but the game's uncommon method of generating galaxies of incomprehensible scale on device consistently for all players from a single-seed happening on a phone is remarkable for those of us who remember phones performing far behind consoles or desktop PCs.
