<p>Hello Games’ procedural space simulator <a href="http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/322915/No_Mans_Sky_Next_update_attracts_over_40000_players_on_Steam.php">showed over 40,000 concurrent players on Steam last week</a> following the release the <em>Next</em> update, which also included features like expansive base building and overhauled graphics.</p>
<p>According to numbers <a href="https://www.pcgamer.com/no-mans-sky-pulls-in-nearly-100000-concurrent-players-on-steam-over-the-weekend/">pulled by PC Gamer,</a> <em>Next</em> didn’t draw in as many players on Steam since <em>No Man’s Sky’s </em>launch, which was just over 212,000 concurrent users, but it’s not terrible for a game that’s seen significant changes since its original (and somewhat controversial) launch.</p>
<p>In addition to the co-op multiplayer and other new features of <em>Next,</em> the 50 percent drop in price of <em>No Man’s Sky </em>is probably contributing to the higher playercount as well, since the game has been sitting at Steam’s global top sellers list since the update launched.</p>
