### 3/5 — Needs to be more optimize and the price is too high for a mobile game

*2026-10-28*

The game itself is not bad — it's just that it doesn't run smoothly on my phone. I have a 16 Pro Max, so I think it should run decently, but it struggles.

PRICE 🥀

The price is the same as the PC version, without cross-progression, I guess. For a mobile game — and an unpolished one at that — it seems a little 🤏 too expensive in my opinion, because you're not getting a good experience for the price you pay.

### 3/5 — Really great port but no multiplayer, sadly

*2026-10-28*

I'm playing on an iPad Air M4 and the game looks and runs great! There are some stutters for a couple of minutes the first time you start a game, but they quickly smooth out. I recommend keeping all graphical settings set to standard, DRS set to 0.75, and framerate to 60. It will look sharp as a knife and run smooth as butter.
HOWEVER there's no multiplayer nor cross saves. So, sadly, you'll only get a partial No Man's Sky experience. I really, REALLY hope they add this in the future, as my friends and I were planning on playing this mobile version together.

### 4/5 — Pra falar a verdade o jogo é ótimo só não estou muito acostumado mesmo assim está de parabéns

*2026-10-28*

O jogo em si é ótimo fiel aos do console é um pouco complexo porque eu não estou acostumado a jogar ele mas no iPhone 17 Pro Max com os gráficos tudo no Ultra ele vai esquentar um pouco o celular fora isso deixando os gráficos no padrão que significa leve o jogo roda muito liso e mesmo sem controle adicional

### 4/5 — Great game, now pls support the duo

*2026-10-28*

Ok so I've put way too many hours into this. Started playing on my lunch break "just to check it out" and now I have a base on a frozen planet and a freighter I'm way too attached to.

Honestly still kind of wild that this runs on a phone. Looks really good, plays smooth, touch controls took me a bit to get used to but they're fine. Controller is better though. I jetpacked off a cliff probably 30 times before I figured that out.

Also gotta give Hello Games credit for sticking with this game for like 10 years and never charging for updates. Not many devs would do that.

BUT. Devs if you see this. I have an iPhone Duo. It unfolds. Into a bigger screen. And I'm playing your giant space game in a little box with black bars on the sides like a caveman. Please. Your game is basically one long screenshot of pretty planets, this is the exact phone it was made for and it doesn't even know it.

You guys added sandworms and living ships. I believe in you. You can figure out a folding screen.

4 stars. Would be 5 if I could unfold my phone and actually use with the true aspect ratio of the Duo.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-10-28*

I’ve played this on the PlayStation on and off since it came out investing weeks at a time but it’s been a couple of years since I last got to play due to life. But that is a problem no more. I can dip in when I get a minute and it is perfect thank you for bringing this outstanding game to iOS

### 5/5 — Great but missing a few things IMO

*2026-10-28*

I love how this has been executed on iOS. The controls make sense and are pretty straightforward and smooth. I have yet to figure out how to melee and I think it might not be in the mobile game (yet) but I would love for this feature to be added so I can melee jetpack boost like on console, but it is not a complete deal breaker for me. 

The one feature I hope is added sooner rather than later that is keeping me from buying the full game at the moment is cross-save. I understand that there are several features missing from the console but if there is anyway that I can bring over my ps5 save I would throw my money at hello games!! I could care less about multiplayer/online play but I would love to continue my exploration that I been grinding on console and don’t want to start from a completely blank slate. 

If you have never played before, you should definitely give this game a try!!! It is highly addictive and very entertaining with all of the endless exploration. 

Please Hello Games, I’m begging you…
Add cross-save and I will empty my pockets! 

Thank you for the hours of exploration, building new bases, and increasing my standing with the various races. Even though cross-save is unavailable at the moment, thank you for bringing one of my favorite games to iOS.

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2026-10-28*

Ran 10mins for the game. So far no issue with my 17pro. Will observe if not much bugs and performs stable then purchase it

### 5/5 — Hello games done it again!

*2026-10-28*

Well, it’s exactly what they promised. It’s the full game of no mans sky on iPhone and iPad. I played it on my M1 iPad Air and things ran great, even when I turned up the volumetric effects in graphics settings. For the price they’re asking, I think it’s a pretty damn good deal man.

### 5/5 — iPhone 16 Pro Max

*2026-10-28*

Ich habe heute bereits über 1,5 Stunden Gameplay am iPhone 16 Pro Max verbracht. Ich muss sagen, der Port ist sehr gut gelungen. Es läuft super flüssig und die Touch Steuerung ist sehr gut geeignet für das Spiel. Die Probeversion geht bis zum ersten Verlassen des Planeten 🪐. Geld absolut wert!

### 5/5 — Easily worth the buy! This is a definitive game for iPad.

*2026-10-28*

Full-blown No Man’s Sky on the iPad….we really live in the future guys. Plays great all around, runs well, great controller support, and is one of the funnest and most inspiring space exploration games ever devised by humans. Even at this initial release things are looking good. A thought for the future if possible: targeting as many generations of devices is a win for everyone and is definitively the right call at this moment. But for the future, would it be possible to have options that utilize higher end hardware more? Things like pop in distance, texture resolution, and lighting could really benefit from M3 hardware upwards and it would be really nice to be able to toggle a few more options on M5 that really push the hardware.

### 5/5 — Все отлично но

*2026-10-28*

Так как много играл в нее на пк и steam deck , нечего плохого сказать не могу если только не одно но не могу купить полную версию все есть баланс полный для покупки но невозможно купит. Что делать

### 4/5 — Glad to see this on iOS but graphics need a LOT of improvement, also preview images are fake

*2026-10-28*

I am currently using the best iPad money can buy, and it runs the game very well. However, the graphics and textures, even on max graphics, look terrible. The previews show it looking like it does on PS5 but it looks nowhere near that in reality. Please unlock the graphics further for high end iOS devices and I will actually consider buying the full version like I have on steam and my switch 2.

### 5/5 — Первое впечатление

*2026-10-28*

Побегал попрыгал , полетал, игра как на компе управление адаптировано, но в бесплатной версии не понятно можно ли привязать прогресс игры с компьютера , а покупать чтобы проверить не сильно хочется, но если прогресс можно в платной версии синхронизировать тогда я однозначно это возьму !!!

### 2/5 — 1

*2026-10-28*

Игра не запускается

### 4/5 — Bug

*2026-10-28*

C’est tout à fait normal d’avoir des bugs,je vois en reporte un.mon jeu crash à la mission de récupération avec les coordonnées, mon écran devient tout rose et ça se coupe.mais sinon c’est une super adaptation,qui ma donné envie d’acheter le jeu.bravo

### 5/5 — Awesome

Let’s gooo

### 1/5 — NEEDS CROSS-SAVE

*2026-10-28*

Not having multiplayer really stings on its own, but not being able to load my PC save is a deal-breaker. This limitation is entirely arbitrary, you can read the save files on ios so why can’t we load them from your servers? Otherwise this is very impressive and I’d update the review to way higher if they fixed this.

### 1/5 — Сыроватое и очень подбешивает многое тут.

*2026-10-28*

Хотя я и наиграл 2 часа залпом!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-10-28*

I downloaded the app, looking forward to playing this long awaited game. I have the requirements on my iPad and the store says it plays on my iPad. When I try to play however i go to start a new game and after a few seconds and before the gameplay starts it kicks me out. Anyone else receiving this error.

### 1/5 — No Man‘s Game

*2026-10-28*

Unter IOS 27.2 stürzt das Spiel sofort ab.
Vom Kauf ist abzuraten.

### 1/5 — Mein Account von der PC-Version?

*2026-10-28*

Ich hatte No Mans Sky über Steam gekauft und hunderte Stunden in das Spiel gesteckt. Darauf kann ich nicht zugreifen? Ich soll ganz von vorne anfangen? Das ist keine 23 € wert. Damit habe ich nun nicht gerechnet, dass ich NICHT nahtlos dort weiter spielen kann, an dem Punkt, an dem ich auf Steam aufgehört hatte. Für Neu-Beginner sicherlich eine Empfehlung, aber nicht für jemanden, der schon längere Zeit dabei ist.

### 1/5 — iPad 9 crashed

*2026-10-28*

Игра отказывается работать на iPad 9, крашится на моменте загрузки уровня

### 1/5 — Falha na sincronização

*2026-10-28*

O game nao abre o jogo pra mim, fica apenas dando “falha na sincronização”, observa-se que nem testei o jogo, aparece 0,00 horas de jogo e esta me exigindo que compre o jogo, mas não vou comprar o jogo sem antes testa-lo no meu iphone pra ver se vai rodar liso, por favor me ajudem!

### 1/5 — .

*2026-10-28*

Скачал игру, запускаю, и вижу просто надпись hello games и всё больше ничего дальше не прогружается

### 1/5 — No man‘s sound!

*2026-10-28*

I guess trial version doesn’t include sound at all!

### 1/5 — Crash on launch

*2026-10-28*

Crashes after the Atlas part of the loading screens. A shame because it’s the best game ever in PCVR

### 5/5 — EXCEPTIONAL ADAPTATION!

*2026-10-28*

I've only been playing it for about an hour or two, but the pick up, & playability of the game, along with the intuitive touch controls, & UI makes THIS (in MY opinion!) THEE BEST WAY TO PLAY "NO MAN'S SKY!"

### 5/5 — No man’s sky

*2026-10-28*

Premier avis de l’histoire de ce jeu version mobile

### 5/5 — top tier game, runs great

*2026-10-28*

Played NMS since launch 10 years ago, i'm shocked how well it runs on an iphone air lol

Hello Games is a fantastic stupid who has overcome a lot. 

well done.

### 5/5 — God game

*2026-10-28*

Well optimized performance, doesn’t fill in for iPhone Duo yet but surely that is coming

### 5/5 — Incroyable !

*2026-10-28*

Un jeu exceptionnel sur iphone !

### 5/5 — Оптимизация

*2026-10-28*

Для старта все хорошо, но оптимизацией стоит еще заняться

### 5/5 — Hello Games ist am kochen

*2026-10-28*

Hello Games hat ein ganzes Universum in deine Tasche gebracht und es läuft auch noch so gut. Einziger Kritikpunkt das Handy wird schnell heiß läuft aber flüssig (noch nicht alle Funktionen wie auf pc ausprobiert -base Building corvette Building) aber das wird sich zeigen.

### 5/5 — Und sie haben es wieder geschafft!

*2026-10-28*

Hätte nie gedacht No Man‘s Sky mal offiziell auf dem iPhone zu sehen. Echt spitze! Wenn Hello Games mir jetzt noch verraten würde, wo der Melee Button hin ist…

### 5/5 — 무한한 우주를 탐험하는 데만 몰빵된 게임!

*2026-10-28*

언제 어딜 가든 뭘하든 전부 상관 없이 우주 유영, 유랑, 방랑, 탐험에만 몰빵된 제 인생갓겜이에요!
해야될 게 없어서 너무 좋아요

### 5/5 — …

*2026-10-28*

Эту игру я играл на Steam deck Oled и ещё тогда она мне понравилась, я не мог оторваться
А тут она на телефон ещё вышла, так это вообще супер, игра класс
Советую не пожалеете
