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.

在最初发布十年多之后，太空探索与生存建造游戏《无人深空》（No Man’s Sky）即将登陆 iPhone 和 iPad，苹果公司与开发商 Hello Games 今日宣布了这一消息。该游戏将支持 iPhone 11 和第三代 iPad Air 及更新的设备。

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.

《无人深空》或许没有最顶尖的 3A 级画质（尽管其画面依然出色，且自发布以来通过更新有了长足进步），但该游戏通过单一种子在手机上为所有玩家持续生成规模宏大的星系，这种非同寻常的方式对于我们这些记得手机性能曾远落后于主机或台式机的人来说，确实令人惊叹。

This version of the game includes all of the content and systems updates to the game that have been added over the years—the expansions that famously took the game from a rocky launch reception to a widely beloved redemption story.

该版本包含了多年来游戏所添加的所有内容和系统更新——正是这些扩展内容，让这款游戏从发布之初的口碑不佳，转变为广受赞誉的救赎故事。

There are a couple of compromises, though, and it’s similar to what we saw with No Man’s Sky on the Nintendo Switch. Hello Games says the ability to build and explore player-made planetary settlements is limited to the iPhone 15 Pro and later, and multiplayer is not supported on any iOS device.

不过，该版本也做出了一些妥协，这与我们在任天堂 Switch 版《无人深空》上看到的情况类似。Hello Games 表示，建造和探索玩家自建行星定居点的功能仅限于 iPhone 15 Pro 及后续机型，且所有 iOS 设备均不支持多人游戏。

“We are excited to see player feedback on iOS, and will support it appropriately based on how many folks are playing,” the company says, leaving the door open to perhaps not supporting all future content updates if the player base isn’t there to justify it.

该公司表示：“我们很期待看到 iOS 玩家的反馈，并将根据玩家数量提供相应的支持。”这为未来如果玩家基数不足以支撑开发，可能无法支持所有后续内容更新留下了余地。

In addition to touch controls (which actually ought to be a good fit for a menu-heavy game like this), the iPhone version supports game controllers and casting to a TV, while the iPad version supports both of those things, plus mouse and keyboard input.

除了触控操作（实际上这对于像这样菜单繁多的游戏应该很合适）之外，iPhone 版本还支持游戏手柄和投屏到电视，而 iPad 版本除了上述功能外，还支持鼠标和键盘输入。

Hello Games has been working on the iOS version for three years. It also recently released a well-received macOS port of the game. No Man’s Sky’s iOS port is part of what Apple is billing “indie games week,” which includes a few other titles of note, like the cat exploration game Little Kitty, Big City, and strategy game 9 Kings.

Hello Games 已经在 iOS 版本上投入了三年的开发工作。他们最近还发布了广受好评的 macOS 版本。《无人深空》的 iOS 移植版是苹果公司所谓的“独立游戏周”活动的一部分，该活动还包括其他几款值得关注的作品，如猫咪探索游戏《小猫咪，大城市》（Little Kitty, Big City）和策略游戏《9 Kings》。

While the other indie titles in Apple’s push have already started rolling out, No Man’s Sky will be a bit still: It will launch on October 28. It will also offer a free trial, and the final purchase price will be $19.99. The file size clocks in at under 5GB; remember, those millions of planets aren’t assets stored in a folder. Instead, they’re generated on-device as you go.

虽然苹果推广的其他独立游戏已经开始陆续推出，但《无人深空》还需要再等一会儿：它将于 10 月 28 日发布。游戏将提供免费试玩，最终售价为 19.99 美元。文件大小不到 5GB；请记住，那数百万颗行星并非存储在文件夹中的资源，而是随着你的游玩在设备上实时生成的。
