No Man's Sky Update Latest News
The most recent update for No Man's Sky is that the game is now available on Mac. It has been a long time coming but now Mac users will finally have the ability to play No Man's Sky on Mac. This is a free update for the game and it is a welcomed one since it brings No Man's Sky to more users.
But this is not the only news that No Man's Sky is going to get. Sean Murray is the founder of Hello Games, the developers for No Man's Sky. When No Man's Sky is about to get a big update, he likes to tease it ahead of time with an emoji. This time around, Sean Murray tweeted out a brain emoji.
According to @bomber_that on Twitter, Sean Murray made a Tweet last year with emojis and what they represent. He tweeted in the past that the brain emoji is representative of a new narrative coming. So a new narrative experience could be coming to No Man's Sky.
Not satisfied with one brain, Sean Murray tweeted out two brain emojis. Players seem to think that this is a reference to some sort of hivemind coming to No Man's Sky.
