You explore. Fight. Trade. Mine. The objective is to reach the centre of the universe. What you do along the way is completely up to you.

From the creators of Joe Danger comes a game for the people who know what to do in a galaxy with nothing to do.

It's blank apart from a link to a reddit post telling you how to open the box.

This looks wonderful, made it really tempting to buy a retail copy.

I like it. I love the general aesthetic of the game - the whole pulp/retro science fiction look, they use a lot of colours from that aesthetic although the actual models don't specifically represent that look, I think it's a "minimal pulp/retro science fiction" aesthetic. I love it.

it has been listed on Amazon.co.uk for a while as physical. Firewatch is up there too.

Reminds me of old school psygnosis
I thought is was a digital title??

I thought we had known a physical edition was coming for a bit, I think it was back in May that it was mentioned as hopefully coming to retail, and I believe Sony said they are treating the game like a first party release so will be going all out with it. I'll likely be buying the physical release as long as it comes out the same day, I'm always for more games on my shelf, especially when they have nice box art.
Do Sony still put "Only on PlayStation" on the boxes when they're only timed exclusives?
Looking at those tweets, no.
The boxart for No Man's Sky is not confirmed.
Weird thread.

That is the conclusion I jumped to as well.

Featuring a new kind of online multiplayer where you're unlikely to ever meet another player.
Box quotes:
"Our first party line-up is a bit thin this year" - Andrew House
"But what do you actually do?" - Welsh Rarebit; NeoGAF
"This looks lame. I'd rather play Halo." - Chief Fenix; N4G

Why would it be full priced? Not all retail games are. Sly Cooper Thieves in Time, Puppeteer, a couple of the Ratchet & Clank games, Minecraft, and more besides.

"Only on Playstation", except it`s also on PC?

Dude needs an assault rifle magnetically attached to his back, obviously, but other than that it's a gorgeous box art. Straight out of a pulp sci fi novel.

The Playstation version is only on Playstation.
It's corporate double-speak. Along the lines of "exclusively on Xbox this holiday season"
PlayStation blog tweeted out some high-res versions the other day. Not a fan of the huge PS4 watermark in the corner however.
We have no information on pricing yet.

I wondered this recently when I noticed Toukiden Kiwami on Steam. I figured it must refer to it being a consoe exclusive.

That box art looks very nice. This is why I always prefer physical version of console games.
It's also a mockup by some random person and has nothing to do with Sony, but whatever

Very nice cover indeed, reminds me of the good old amiga days with similar artwork on covers and posters, hope this is legit, physical all the way!

I'd be an equal opportunities critic of MS and Sony for their general abuse of words and their meanings. That "only on Playstation" tag is applied to many, many games but often lacks the asterisk that should say "secretly also on PC". I'd be shocked if NMS was any different.
My immediate reaction to the box are was three fold.
"Oh it's a boxed game?"
"Love that art"
"Oh shit, it's going to be $69.99 Canadian"
Probably premature, I guess I always thought about this as a downloadable game made by a small studio.
edit: Frankly if this means the game is much bigger than anyone had thought in the past, so be it. That's what I think everyone wants.

You realise other indie games and PSN titles have had physical releases too right? Just because it comes in a box doesn't mean it's going to be a full price game. I don't understand why some people here think that way.

Have they explained what you can do with the box art? I mean, I can look at a box art for 20 minutes or so, but if that's all you can do with the box art I think it might become a little boring.
I was literally going to post this exact thing! DAMN YOU!
Where can I find this in pure form?
I would like to have it as my wallpaper.
Without the PS4 and No Man's Sky text.

Oh shit, that Simon?! Dude makes amazing art.
Have previous PSN titles had physical releases at launch? I wasn't aware of that.
